Hello all, I stumbled across this forum a couple of months ago and have ever since been fascinated with lucid dreaming. I've lurked around the forum for a while, taking in all the brilliant wisdom that passes through here but today for some reason felt compelled to register and become a member.

I've been keeping a dream journal for for well over a month with amazing results. Even becoming lucid twice! (despite waking up due to excitement ).

On both occasions i think i fell into the trap of the "Amazing i'm lucid! What can i do now?!?" attitude, and tried a bit too hard.

The second time around i tried rubbing my hands together to stabilize the dream but with no luck.

Has anyone got any advice?
I'm aware there are lots of threads like this but i felt some personal advice would hit home a bit harder.

btw, i've just realized! on both occasions of becoming lucid i was under threat (being chased or whatever). Not sure if this would contribute to not being able to stabilize correctly.
Thanks in advance.
