I've just recetly started to actively lucid dream (or at least attempt to lucid dream) and have found that my ideal time for becoming lucid through WILD is in the early-ish morning when I'm naturally drifting between wake and sleep (I'm a student at the university and I often have no early classes). The only problem is that those dreams are extremely fragile. Today morning I woke up and found myself in hypnagogia and had the dream kind of force itself on me - I could see a lamp before my eyes and suddenly woke up in a room, facing the said lamp. I remembered all the techniques I had read about and stared at my hands, rubbed them together, stared at my surroundings, tried to make them appear as clear as possible (those floortiles were really detailed!) and whatnot. Then I headed to complete my LD goal, which is walking on the surface of the moon, listening to the silence and looking at planet Earth. Something I have always wanted to experience. I attempted to exit the room through the window but couldn't get past the glass, so I had to go through the wall, which was surprisingly easy and felt funny. Then I just skyrocketed towards the moon, but my surroundings started to go funky and I lost the dream to complete darkness and woke up. I also had another lucidish dream this morning, it was a DILD, but it was quite murky and I can't remember much about it, only that it didn't last very long, either.

What techniques should I attempt to remain lucid longer? Was I just too hasty, or is it because of the time? Should I attempt to wake up in the middle of the night and go lucid, instead of the morning? I'm a complete beginner, so please bear with me. Thank you!
