I've had SP several times now. At first I got too excited and it ended, but now it's just mildly annoying but also exciting because I know I can get to a lucid dream from it. Usually I get SP after a dream fades out, and as it's fading out I become lucid and decide to try DEILD. Last night the SP also started to fade out though, and I was wondering if there was a way to stabilize it when that happens.

Also, before you enter a dream, does the SP sort of fade out, end abruptly, or form a dream scene which you then enter?
