Hello

I have some problem that really makes me crazy. First I have to say that I'm quite an advanced lucid dreamer, I have about 5-7 lucid dreams per week and they are all vivid and normally dream control is not a big problem for me (means, I could turn into an animal or fly to the universe, if I only had the time for that!)... the only thing that really never works is stabilization !! I tried every technique, rubbing your hands, watching your hands, watching out for details, spinning, closing your eyes and open them again etc. but they never work, sometimes they even make the dream more unstable. It's annoying me because my LD skills are for nothing if I can not realize my plans during the dream because it's collapsing after a few minutes and it's never really stable.. I always have to take care not to wake up, it's kinda the main thing I do while being in the dream.. for example I can never fly extremly high or fast because when I do it, it means waking up immediatly..
I know that stabilization techniques only help you, when you really believe in it.. but it's hard to believe that when it NEVER works.. am I the only one in here who has that problem?
So how do you manage the problem? What do you do, that you really believe in it?
