Often times after I first become lucid in a dream, I'll feel rushed to go someplace or do something as if time is limited. I'll begin to think that I've become lucid at the end of the REM period and that I am about to wake up. This makes things very unstable and much less enjoyable. I want to slow things down, but I'm afraid that doing so will make me lose touch with the dream and that it will start to fade. Anyone else have a problem like this or can offer some advice? Thanks.
