Need advice for lucid dreaming and astral projection

So now that I quit cannabis for almost three weeks, I am simply dreaming much better and more clearly. But there is a persistent issue.

Once I wake up in my dream, either in a vivid dream, or outside of my body, being awake while asleep never lasts long because my heart rate raises and it wakes me all the way up out of my dream state.

It’s like the more aware I am in my dream that I’m dreaming or trying to now take control of what’s happening, the more likely I am to get a raised heart rate and wake up soon.

Anyone know advice that’s helped them with this issue?

Just practice, really. Michael Raduga talks about this in his book The Phase. The more you do it the less exciting it gets and the more you can stay in state. I’m not there yet I get halfway down the stairs and wake up or go back to sleep.

It’s awfully long but he mentions it in the seminars he has posted on youtube, which we have links for here:

Sounds like maybe it’s like riding a wave, do it but stay calm and don’t get excited
