Dude, you're doing better than most newbies. Try modulating your emotions for a bit.

Also, my nifty Google skills quickly yielded this article from the Blog:

Also the weird thing is that I don't even have
Enough time to get excited about being lucid.

Practice what you would do and how you would handle it *right now* if you found out you were dreaming. I used to do that by day and it helped. I also use some verbal commands like "I am going to stay in the dream now."

I still have some where I don't have any time and I wake up. Just stick with it, because pessimism won't help you any. Very Happy

You said it yourself: if you believe you can, you can. I would second all of the advice above, plus this: Find what inspires you to lucid dream and focus on that for thirty seconds. Then find something that inspires calm in you--an image of nature is usually nice--and think of that for thirty seconds. Train yourself to be calm when thinking about dreaming, while being excited at the same time. They aren't mutually exclusive, just difficult to have coincide. Also, focus on your breath. Breathe deeply and evenly.
