I've mentioned these before, but I never really went in-depth about them.  Stabilization techniques are things you do in a dream (once you're lucid, of course) to keep yourself from waking up as easily. 

Rubbing your hands together is the first one.  This is the technique I use, since it seems like the most reliable of the three techniques I know.

The second one is to spin around on the spot.  I avoid this one because spinning too fast will still make you dizzy, and dizziness will wake you up, as I already stated whilst talking about teleportation in the "What To Do In A Lucid Dream" chapter.

The third one is to shout at the dream for more lucidity.  I haven't done this one myself, but my problem with it is that dream commands usually require a certain degree of control, which you may not have if your dream is unstable.  I just don't think it'd work for me.

Also, you guys might be getting a chapter about teleportation eventually.  I've been working on learning it when I'm lucid, and I feel like I'm close to success.  I just need the chance to try it again.
