Happens for me too :) .. Some days I seed what I want to dream about before sleeping (usually by watching a related genre movie).. I can go back to the same dream if interrupted for a few minutes (5-10).. not hours though... Once in the dream and after realizing that it is a dream - I can control most of the things (environment, flying, running on four legs etc) - though I keep moving in/out of that realization...sort of like inception... :)

Be wary of trying to further "lucidate" the lucid dream into another lucid state. I've woken up going a few tiers into such very dissasociative from reality for several (4+ hours) over weekends :) EG: building in my dream a "jump pad" standing upon such, to "jump" to an even deeper reality, etc.

It sounds wonky, but, throwing it out there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissociative_disorder Subset: Depersonalization disorder: periods of detachment from self or surrounding which may be experienced as "unreal" (lacking in control of or "outside of" self) while retaining awareness that this is only a feeling and not a reality.
