Thanks for the replies

I hope I can use the info here to expand my control over my Lucid Dreaming. Just last night I used the spinning technique and it worked! Wow that ones cool.

My problem is I get pretty excited when I realize Im dreaming and I can wake up. Usually I try to forget that I know I am dreaming so that my dream doesnt end. Dreaming is fun. But now I will use the advice of staying calm, and appreciating my environment. I cant wait for another LD to try this stuff out.
