TheFragile, I have noticed both things--sometimes I have greater control in a WILD, but lose this as the dream continues. Other times, I have relatively little control at the beginning of a WILD, and don't manage to pick any up as the dream progresses! However, I would say your loss of control probably stems from a loss of awareness as the dream continues--especially if the dream is very long. We tend to forget little things, like that DC copies of waking life friends are not "real," or that we can't be hurt. I think the more you get used to expecting dream control to work--at least most of the time--the less dream control will revolve around the clarity of your awareness. Some of my best "dream control" dreams have been semi-lucids, so I do believe awareness is not necessarily the biggest factor there, but expectation.
