Hey, guys. I'm rather bad at thinking up how to start a new topic, so I'll cut right to the chase.

I've had quite a few lucid dreams, I don't exactly remember how many. All within the past 2 - 4 years. I can't particularly remember. I've read up a ton on lucid dreams because of this; they interest me, how can they not?

Anyway, my two past lucid dreams have felt rather forced and rushed. Meaning that the second I realize I'm dreaming, I start to get ahead of myself and I try to do tons of things at once out of excitement. I just can't seem to calm myself down enough to think out what it is I want to do properly.

I've never actually succeeded in having a lucid dream that's felt like it lasted more than 5 minutes. It's rather frustrating.

Any tips for an idiot who can't control their excitement?
