Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you.

Reading about your LDs, know that the exact same thing happens to me. I'll realize I'm dreaming and then everything will just go black and I'll wake up. I haven't had very many lucids (especially lately ), but I still think I've found something that will work. It's two fold and you'll have to think of both at the same time.

1. Rub your hands together. In one of my LDs, I felt that I was going to wake up because I could no longer move and could feel my sleeping body. So, I remember hearing someone say that if you rub your hands together it can help increase lucidity, so I figured it would help. It did. I focused on how my dream body felt, especially moving, and was able to go back into the dream.

But I always seemed to lose lucidity when that happened. That's where part two comes in.

2. Remind yourself that you are, in fact, dreaming. Make a conscious effort to keep saying "I am dreaming. I am in a lucid dream." I think that after you practice with this and become more aware of your dream world, it will come more naturally and you won't have to talk to yourself as much or at all. Find ways to remind yourself that you're dreaming, be it by looking for DSs (dream signs) or whatnot.

I hope this helped. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. I'll try not to take three days to reply.
