Welcome to DreamViews! For dream signs you want to look for recurring characters, situations, objects, feelings, settings, etc. Just anything that shows up across multiple dreams that can help tip you off that your are dreaming or cause you to perform a RC (reality check).
Well, with your first lucid dream, that feeling of "I'm dreaming" can often cause you to wake up. You need to just stay calm and try to avoid thinking about waking up or becoming overly emotional. Once you get some experience under your belt, it will get easier for you to stay in the dream. A lot of lucid dreaming is practice, trial and error, and experience. Just keep working at it and you will be fine.
Also, keep in mind that FAs (false awakenings) are very common with lucid dreams. Try to get into the habit of performing a RC every time you wake up from the dream state. You may not have really woke up. If the dream starts to crash quickly around you, you can always try to perform a DEILD to chain right back into a lucid dream. Take a look at DEILD in the tutorials section of the Wiki if you haven't already. Hope this helped out a bit. Good luck to you and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!
