For me it's the opposite - I often gain control only at the end, at whih everything becomes unstable

I was not necessarily talking about the degree of control you have over the dream. I'm interested in awareness. Even if my control stays constant throughout the entire dream, my awareness often shifts from lucid to non-lucid over its course, i.e., even if I start with full waking awareness, my decisions and thoughts are becoming less and less rational as the dream progresses and eventually I'm having a non-lucid dream about being lucid rather than being truly lucid (even though I admittedly was lucid when I first entered the dream). It only becomes obvious to me once I wake up.
