Question about calming down when getting lucid.
So like the title says how should I calm down when I become lucid.
I have attained my past 2 lucid dreams by WBTB in about 1 month time period. Both times when I became lucid I almost immediately woke up. It felt like I just didnt have the time to react to the lucid dreams anyhow. The second lucid dream which I had last night, I felt this weird excitement rush coming and I tried to start breathing calmly but It was too late. Almost at the same time when I was about start breathing calmly I woke up..... The other LD which I had some weeks ago didnt last even that long that I could have somehow felt something, because at that dream I immediately woke up, no chances on calming down.
So I was wondering could it be because, usually when I think about getting lucid I start to analyze what kind of dream stabilization method should I use when I become lucid. And when I become lucid I immediately start to think about those methods and wake up?:?
Or could it just be because I havent yet become familiar with lucid dreaming and usually there are long periods of time when I dont see any LD's so when I see one I just simply get too excited????
Its pretty frustrating that when I become lucid I cant do anything to stop from waking up:(. But I'll try to have a lucid dream tonight and just try to be like "Oh Im lucid, nothing new. I'll just calm down." So hope it helps?!....
