When I feel it fading, it starts to get foggy and stuff, and it's like the sound is getting farther and farther away, but then I say "No. This is my dream, and I am in control of when I wake up. Now is not the time." It generally starts to come back and the dream is a lot longer, and I've also found while doing this, I'm able to wake myself up when I do want to actually get out of the dream. Like not shoot myself to wake up, I just think "Time to wake up." And then I'm awake.
This guide can offer you several tips on dream stabilization. Personally I'd do what works best for you, and keep insisting on it until you solve the issue, as it's mostly a question of practice ;)
Like Zoth said if that is working for you then keep it everyone has their own personal favorites and their own versions on stabilization
the way you do it ( using verbal commands ) is the way i control my dreams if i want to make something happen i basically shout it out and this seems to work well for me wheras if i want to stabalize my dream i basically quickly surround myself in a white room a plain white room like a bright box and just stand there for a while untill i feel stable enough to remove the sides from around me and continue
stabilizing dreams is a learning process, the more you do it, the better you get. like one of the technique you can use, where you can rub your hands together and tell yourself "This dream will continue" or something like that.
