I actually saw a clever little tip recently on another site (it was reddit, ban me fam, my body is ready) that I think might help you out a bit.

Just talk.

Once you become lucid, simply talk aloud. Doesn't have to be about anything in particular. You can narrate your dream, talk to your dream characters, talk to the walls, talk to your hands, whatever feels right, ya know?

The original post I saw this tip in didn't discuss *why* this works, but I saw right away why this little bit of advice was so magical. Essentially, all stabilization is one big balancing act between the focus you put on the dream world and the focus you put on your inner thoughts and dialogue. By shifting that inner dialogue outward, and directly involving yourself and focusing on the dreamworld, you ensure that balance is met naturally and easily without the need to run around rubbing your face on bricks or smelling mailboxes.

So yeah. Not OP, but hope that helps.
