Good good good! Way to keep up with the recall and systematically zero in on what combination of steps works best for you. And top it all off with a crapload of sleep.

The stabilization, I think, will come. The tutorial should be a great place to start. I think that in general what works is to draw in as much detail from the dream scene as you can and try to get a real sense of your dream body (by probing, rubbing your hands together, or whatever comes to mind). You're just going to get better and better at this the more practice you have. Getting lucid as many times as you can and just giving yourself that practice will work wonders. I notice, for example, that OpheliaBlue and paigeyemps almost never need to bother with stabilization anymore. I think that at some point this process becomes almost completely natural and automatic. (Not always there yet myself, that's for sure!)

I think you've got a great series of steps laid out and it's exciting to watch how much success you're having. (I, too, am a fan of the "I'm dreaming" mantra.) You are doing it right! And I am terribly jealous/impressed by your 12 hours of sleep.

This is a great attitude and it's completely true. Sleep really becomes something to look forward to. This helps keep the practice exciting and sets you up with loads of positive expectations. So much better than thinking of bed time as simply "warping" you to the next day when you'll have to drag your butt out of bed to go to work.
