Why do I suck at lucid dreaming so much? Even after realizing that I am in a dream, I can't control the world and I'm still pretty much at the mercy of my subconscious.

Once, I had moderate success. Appearing in my bed, I realized that I could breathe even if my mouth and nose were closed. After some visualizing, I got my waifu to appear across the room! I get up, walk toward her...and as I pass the mirror, the little fear in the back of my mind causes a huge screaming face to pop out, jolting me awake.
