Lucidity At The Very End Of REM-Phases - Reason For "Instability" Issues?

[StephL]

What most lucid learners including me have as a classical problem is this: We become lucid - and after no, or not much time at all - we wake up. Now - mostly this issue is addressed from the stabilization viewpoint - but could it maybe be, that people wake up so easily, because they only get lucid at the very end of their normal dreams in the first place? I often have a whole lot of dream before it happens, and maybe more experienced DILDers realize, that they are dreaming earlier in the respective REM cycle. If you mainly gain lucidity for the very reason, that the time is optimal for it, in terms of beginning to wake up a bit already - such micro-lucids might follow directly from that, instead of mainly over-excitement or failing to engage all dream-senses or what have you. I wonder what the difference is, between people with long lucids and people with at least a tendency to wake up so soon after the realization. Do you think, there is a significant connection? I hope next time round I will at least have the presence of mind to go for a DEILD. But would that work, or have a chance to become a long LD, if REM of the previous dream really was at it's very end?
