Last night I had my very first LD

I dreamt I went back to my old house that I lived in 5 years ago and went to go see my old friend. I go up to his house and see a boy in a monkey suit jump down from the steps going up to the door and I realize that isnt normal and became lucid.

Unfourtunately I got so excited that my dream began to fade away. I tried the spinning technique and rubbing my hands together but neither one worked and my dream faded away.

Are there any other techniques to help stabilize my LD?
