Doesn't sound like theres anything worng from what you described. Unless you're talking about your failure in flying, in which case all u can do is practice

white dreams: u prevent waking up by practicing regulating your emotional output. It can happen quite frequently in the begining. It can even occur later on in ur life too. Keep up the good work

The energy may come from the excitement of LDing. I've had trouble with trying to fly and waking up as well. But the best method I've discovered is examining your hands and focusing on the task at hand, instead of concentrating on how exciting LDing is or the amount of energy you have. It takes a lot of practice, but examining your hands should make everything much more vivid, and will keep you in the dream longer. Hope that helps!

If you feel your dream fading (happens to me sometimes) then try spinning for a few seconds. I've used this to prolong one lucid dream from about 5 minutes, to like 20 minutes. I think i spun like 4 seperate times

One thing though, when i feel a dream fading i often feel what i guess would be an OBE, or out of body experience, in which i feel both my dream body and real body, and see through my dream eyes and view the dream, and another view of me sleeping in my bed. Sounds freaky but it feels really cool, and recognizing it could help you stay in your dream.

As far as the energy goes, I almost always have tons of energy when I start having a lucid dream. Exciting and new activities often cause a release of dopamine in the brain, dopamine is the same chemical responsible for the high of amphetamines, cocaine, caffeine, masturbation, and many other things. I think it is this excitement that is to blame for the huge energy and rush we sometimes experience when we are lucid.

As for the problem with waking up, I'm new to LDs and I'm still combating this myself but I find that when I remember to do it, rubbing my hands together works well.
