First off, lucid dreaming is when you become aware that you are dreaming, not where you bend the dream to your will. Anytime you notice you are dreaming, regardless of ejection, is a full lucid dream - though, it is unsatisfyingly short.
What exactly do you mean by aware that you are dreaming? Because I usually can tell that I am in a dream by the way it progresses, but I still can't really control things, no even my body in the dream.
Like I know that I am dreaming when I force myself to ignore things in the dream so it doesn't turn into a nightmare (things like I see a deformed body in a bathtub or something), but other than that I basically can't control anything.
Your first example is a completely normal thing when starting out. Premature ejection from a dream is common when you start out - they get longer and longer as you get better and better.
How exactly do I get past this stage? I pretty much have no time to do any stabilizing once I realize I'm dreaming.
The third example is a little odd, mostly because I know the feeling. However, keep in mind that this is your dream, and you can beat the nightmare into the ground.
It honestly just freaks me out too much for me to do any beating, and when I start freaking out, it only gets worse. My nightmares usually go with a domino effect, where if I let the first scary thing happen, it will inevitably end in me trying to commit suicide in the dream or me being killed in another strange way.
