Booney! Welcome back, I have missed you 
Well, I'm not entirely sure why it happens. Perhaps it's simply a mechanism for your dreaming mind to distract you once you start having awareness, because it's no longer the 'normal' way. I mean it might be just like when you become lucid and the dream starts destabilizing, and you have to ground yourself to stay in the dream—perhaps it's a form of dream destabilization when your DC's start attacking you (but more about destabilizing your mindset than the actual dream environment, if that makes sense), in order for you to return to your normal dreaming mind which is non-lucid.
As for how to control it, I would recommend practicing more awareness once again so your mindset would be much firmer about being lucid. I think it would help a lot so that when you start becoming aware, you become even MORE aware right away rather than kind of just having that 'i might be dreaming but im not sure' head-floaty feeling. And when you gain a high amount of awareness right away, you're able to think more clearly and act against the DC's or any other obstacles. You can practice more awareness by delving into your reality checks and reality check on yourself reality checking (haha). Know your mantras by heart, don't slack off on journaling too! The journaling is probably as much help as practicing awareness itself, in this situation. Personally i think it's because your dj is how you get to familiarize yourself with how your dream world works, and once you really read your journal and understand how things happen in your dreams, you are at a better mindset to be lucid and react accordingly.
Hope this helps! See you around
