chained very short lucid dreams from 2nd successful wild

[dimensiongod]

greetings to all This has been my second "successful" WILD if you can call it that. Let me elaborate and hopefully you can provide me with some guidance or advice on my situation. I find that this WILD generates a string of very very short lucid dreams back to back. Probably only lasting 1-2 minutes at least to my perception. I wake up in my bed, knowing that it is a lucid dream, perform only a few actions like getting out of bed, and walking out of the room, then the dream fades on me. I find myself in bed. I RC to check to verify if I'm really awake(which I could tell because I was drowsy), get back in position, and then wake up in bed again. Again, somehow knowing that it is a dream, I get up to go downstairs, and somehow the house is a maze, I go down stairs after stairs, then the scene fades on me and I find myself in bed again. I RC again to check to see if its real (again drowsy is telling me that I am awake already). I get back into position and again wake in bed again knowing that I am dreaming. I again attempt the stairs, only to fade out again again but the same chain of events continue. On my 5 or 6th entry into the same lucid dream, I try to stabilize the dream by spinning, getting on the ground to taste the wooden floor, and staring at my hands. While they do help to stabilize the dream for one or two minutes, I eventually fade out and find myself in bed again. All told, I lost count after the 6th entry into the same lucid dream. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't my Lucid dream seem to last more than a few minutes before I have to redo it again and again. I feel like I'm in a time loop somehow, finding myself in bed over and over again and waking up after only a few minutes of lucid dreaming only to repeat again. Any much needed advice? While WILD has produced the most lucids, they were also very very very short and not very enjoyable since I could feel the dream world was not very stable and had to concentrate on staying in the dream world.

Are you getting excited at all o.O, focusing too much on on specific thing, not letting the dream settle in before attempting something? Maybe already had TOO much sleep? That's all I could think of. But least you can chain these dreams, that's good news.

the first time, I was trying to get out of the room to fly but couldn't make it. The subsequent times I was a bit worried that the dream would end pre-maturely. Each time I was aware that I was in a dream. But couldn't really control the dream too well. I was stuck in a maze of stairs, I was unable to control the length of my dream except for more than 1-2 minutes of spinning, touching and looking at hands. But I was operating in a haze/fog where I couldn't tell myself that I could simply navigate one flight of stairs and get out of the house. Will control and length improve with time or is this it for me? Is controlling lucid dreams really trainable? Because at this point, I know that I'm dreaming and that I'm in a dream world, but I have little to no effect on the dreamscape. I have a little control of myself in the sense that I was able to control my body into spinning, staring at one's hands and reaching down to touch the floor. But thats it.

There is a thread in Dream Control on the two types of control. But I have had LDs where for the first five minutes I couldn't fly, was weird. Also thinking/worrying your dream will end soon will probably help cause it to. Next time don't worry. Just settle in the dream for a few seconds, making it mroe vivid and stable then just go about your business, see if that helps.

thanks.... I read that but it seemed too advanced for me since I have little or no control of my dreams. I neither have passive nor forced control at this point.
