It wasn’t too lost; not all old posts are bad 
From what it looks like, it seems like you are having some in-dream problems (I guess that’s a no brainer). Have you considered something to use as visualization to accomplish tasks? I’m talking about with a lucid pill, lucid cola, etc… Using things like this really helps the mind carry through something, because we as people react better when we use something that we know will work rather than just trying to make something work out of nowhere.
Anyways you might want to give that a try by saying once you swallow a pill/drink a cola your dream will increase realness and length. You’ll have to experiment with it.
