4. Is there ways to extend lucid dreams once you have them?
Numero Uno - As soon as you realise your dreaming, your Lucid.. That's the definition of LDing
Numero Dos - I believe the second dream became unstable as soon as you realised you were dreaming... And soon after that you had an FA (False Awakening).. And then woke up...
Numero Tres - Depends on your belief.. This has been a question that has had me boggling.. Many people on this forum have told of experiences where they have met people and cross referenced it with them to find that they both had the same dream... For more on this check out the Beyond Dreaming section..
Numero Cuatro - Many ways... It's more about making sure it remains stable and not forgetting that your dreaming...

Ways of extending/stabilising dreams:
Staring at your hands, and noticing the wrinkles and the detail.
Spinning to extend the dream.
Doing constant reality checks in the dream itself
Being aware of your surroundings
Shouting out: "Increase LUCIDITY NOW" or "Increase CLARITY NOW" (As goofy as it sounds, it actually works)
Many others I can't remember, Just search around in the forums

More notes:

No 1) There's a difference between Dream Control and just becoming Lucid... For you to truly become the master of your dream world, you have to believe that everything around you is in your head and all in your control.. If you want to fly, but are already expecting to fail... the result will be obvious..

No 2) An FA, is basically just another dream where it seems as if you have woken up.. You sometimes do your daily routines and then Wake up for real.. Although it is possible to have a succession of FAs in a row... Your mind probably wasn't ready to wake up from the previous dreaming and so creating a FA for you, (It's pretty normal). You just have to remember to STAY calm and keep aware of the world around you...

No 4) Make sure, you don't stop keeping a DJ.. It helps recall and also helps get into the mindset of dreaming...
