Hey all,

So lately I've been getting good enough at initiating lucid dreams that my LD bottleneck has become my tendency to immediately start doing stupid things when I become lucid. As in, rather than stabilizing the dream, calming myself down, and calmly exploring my surroundings (or whatever it is I planned to do), I will immediately start flying into space or engaging in a lightning duel. I don't know if most people have this problem, but if I don't stabilize my dream and calm down, not only will it be a rather bad LD as a whole in terms of realism, but I usually won't be thinking straight and will often slip back into non-lucidity. So I guess the big question is, how do you remember to stabilize?
