Well to update, luckily I ended up having a short lucid last night, and I stayed calm but I didn't immediately think about my plan. First I just did a reality check to make sure and then I tried to fly, which I did for maybe 5 seconds, and then I remembered I should have stuck with my plan to stabilize and become aware first before trying any control techniques. At that point I remembered my plan completely but because I forgot to stabilize first I ended up waking up so I didn't get to try anything out. So I think it was still helpful because I could remember what I should have done, I was just too hasty.

Next time I become lucid I think I will be able to follow through with it better.
