Last night I had my third LD, however I still failed at stabilizing it. My LDs so far have went:

1) Recognized something was impossible and woke up instantly
2) Thought that something seemed very strange, did a RC, dream started to fade out so I rubbed my hands. That still didn't work and I woke up after like 3 seconds. (too excited)
3) Randomly realized I was dreaming with no RC. Noticed a lot more than LD #2, I was in a parking lot outside a hotel. I focused my attention on my hands and used verbal commands, like "Stabalize Lucidity", and stayed calm. This time it felt much more real (I could feel myself breathing and it was sunny), but my hands started to fade out even though I was focusing on them really hard.

I know that you usually wake up fast from your first few LDs, but how many do I need to have before I can stay in the dream? Or a better question might be how long until my brain gets used to it?
