I've had 5 lucid dreams, and each time they have gotten longer. Just today I was napping and realized I was dreaming just because I became aware that the geography of the situation was all wrong. It ended in a combination of several false awakenings and I started feeling my real body in sleep paralysis and that's when I woke up.

Anyway I think the more lucid dreams you have the more aware you'll be during them, and eventually you will be able to become as fully aware as waking life and stabilization will become easier.

Just remember that dreams are by definition entirely a product of your mind. The worst thing you can do is lack confidence, because your confidence is your only limiting factor. The secret ingredient to getting better at staying lucid is confidence.

Of course there are a lot of little tricks that people come up with, but they all come down to relaxing and observing the dream. Maybe try observing the feeling of your clothing. In dreams you don't tend to think about your clothing.
