I've been working on this issue lately too. My problem was quite obvious. I would get lucid, worry about waking up and rush to do whatever task I had set for myself. |

I have a really irritating problem...I've worked for ages to gain lucidity and finally I've been able to do it but everything I realise I'm dreaming I wake up instantly.....arrrgh! |

For some reason, I never have this problem. I never wake up, sometimes the dream ends and changes and I lose lucidity. But when I become lucid, I never get excited. I just say, yeah I'm dreaming, and then do whatever I want to do while lucid. Maybe you have to get used to the shock of realizing "reality" as you know it then when you're dreaming. |

psil-ur-cybin, DrTechnical, gave you some good advice. |

When I become lucid, I immediately STOP. Notice the capital letters, because I really stop in everything I do. Now, take a few deep breaths, and remind yourself that you are indeed lucid. At first, do not try and force too many changes, passive control is important. Feel things, allow your brain some sensory input which will help stop you from waking. In your first few lucids, focus a little more on staying calm, relaxed, and grounded in the dream and it will become natural. |

Even just rubbing your hands together can help. As Clarity was saying, using your sense of touch can - I hypothesize - cause you to focus on your dream body rather than your sleeping body. |
