Being lucid and waking up immediately.

[Barteak]

Hey guys! So I have had a couple lucid dreams, but somehow I wake up every time in about 10 seconds after becoming lucid. Now i have read about some of the stabilization e.g. rubbing hands, spinning, drinking something, touching things, commanding the dream to stabilize and such...but I just get so excited that the dream sort of vaporizes. And other times I tried to be relaxed about it and just roll with the dream but then i either woke up again or lost lucidity.. Do you guys could give a beginner some advice? Is it like surfing, that you sorta have to ride the dream and keep a balance between excitement and relaxation?'cause i kinda feel like that is the case and that i am constantly slipping off of my board, if you catch my drift ;). so in short; how do I stabilize my dreams?
