Thread: Having trouble keeping consciousness

In my lucids, I have been having trouble keeping consciousness. I stabilize the dream often, do lots of reality checks in the dream, lose lucidity then regain consciousness shortly after. In the dream, I am really unaware of my surroundings. I know that I am dreaming, and trying to do something but would much rather pay attention to everything else. When there are DC's in my dream, I seem to lose consciousness too. I would much rather chit chat. I say "Hi" but that's it. I almost forget I am dreaming. I seem to get to held up in one thing, but I can't remember to tell myself not to do it. Anyone know anything to do?
