That's how I deal with those awakenings, because even though I might not get as xcited anymore I can still get shocked. ^-^
For stabilization in general I usually scream "I am dreaming!" just like you did but then I try to use all my senses and really get as much information about the dream that I can and get more aware of the surroundings.
Sweet dreams! Sov sött xD
