Help...My Lucid Dreams keep blacking out!

[AstralDelight]

I need a hand.

For the past few weeks I have been having lucid dreams a lot, and most of the time not intentionally. But what happens is usually right after I recognize that I am having a lucid dream the dream immediatly starts to escape me. I can never manage to keep the dream for more than a few split seconds after I recognize I'm dreaming. The all I see is black, and then when I "see" again, I am in a state of sleep paralysis, and eventually my body wakes up, still tingling, almost pulsing. Everytime I have a lucid dream, the tingling/vibrations I feel as I awaken are incredibly strong.

Why does my dream just fade out like that? I'd like to be able to control the dream for a while...
I have flying dreams often and am familiar with those.
