any situation or event in a dream that is too exciting creates an automatic self destruction type reaction from your ego. The thing is, the stable quality of your dream exists to the extent that you support it with beliefs. This might sound confusing but, if for example: you are in an LD and you realize that you can ask your subconscious awareness for inspiration/imaginative insights, when these insights confront you, one of two things will happen, either you will doubt in your own potential to receive such significant insight and wake up (disbelief), or you will let go of the need to judge your own ability to comprehend insights that are beyond your comprehension/belief and witness their unlikely existence. The key to keeping a lucid dream stable is confidence. The reason for this is, anchoring in dreams relies on a trick that lets you leave your conscious judgement (ego) by attempting to prove to it that what you are experiencing in indeed real. The way you do this is by observing your own projection (which multiplies your belief in the fact that it exists) or the opposite, either way, what you're doing is escaping the urge to judge your awareness. This applies to any degree of emotional excitement which can cause you to wake up. What i'm trying to explain is that in order for you to keep the dream rolling, you need to force your ego to believe that your experience is real, and forget that it's fake. Basically emotions are the fuel to either structure, or collapse your dreams. If you are in a realistic LD and you get "too excited" you're basically not confident in the reality of the situation, causing it to disappear. It's to do with your doubt towards how believable your dream is. Basically as soon as you stop judging the reality of your dream, your emotions will make it more vivid and realistic than it was before as you become more in sync with the reality of it, instead of the contrary where your emotions of disbelief dissolve the dream. Positive (non judgmental) emotions (confidence/acceptance/letting go of beliefs/gratitude) stabilize the dream and submerge you further into it. Where negative judgmental emotions destabilize dreams. (two poles of the same magnetic force (attraction/repulsion).
If you'd like to understand this in a nutshell, relate it to day dreams. When you have them they usually happen while you "zone out", all that's going on is you're forgetting that it's impossible to see daydreams (loss of judgement/non resistance). As soon as something external distracts you, you wake up out of the daydream because you realize it was only a daydream(your ego proved the non-existence of the dream by becoming aware of objective evidence). So really all you're doing to daydream/dream/LD is believing that what you're imagining is real.
Stability of LD is a delicate balance between your belief in whats happening (subconscious experience) and your belief in your ego (conscious judgement).
