The night before last I had my third lucid dream, unfortunately it didn't last too long. After realising I was dreaming I sprinted down my driveway and jumped onto a stone pillar, with the intention of propelling myself off it and hopefully flying; but just as I was about to do so I woke up. On other occaisions I have wasted good opportunites to have lucid dreams by immediately waking up once I realised I am dreaming. Am I getting too excited or perhaps I'm being too adventurous trying to fly in my third lucid dream, can somebody please help me with some tips on remaining in my lucid dreams and gaining better control in them?
