Every time I become aware that I am dreaming, the dream fades away in a matter of seconds. It's hard to explain, but it's as if the whole dream fades to black, and then I wake up. This happens almost all the time! Maybe I get too excited? How can I actually savor my lucid dreams? They last only seconds! I have managed, only a few times, to have long lucid dreams and I would like to have more of them.
