You might also try touching things (I mean really "feeling" them) to stabilize your dream. Get into how they feel.. are they hot, cold, smooth, rough, etc.. this often helps me remain in a dream longer.

Also it's entirely possible to "dream" about lucid dreaming.. that's why its recommended that you do a reality check (i.e., see if you can breath thru your plugged nose or put your finger thru your palm, etc.) to verify that you are indeed lucid.
