Since I've joined this forum I have been thinking a lot about lucidity, performing RCs and becoming aware of the fact that I am awake. Now, at night when I'm sleeping, I will still have thoughts about having lucid dreams, but they are very illogical and I do not seem the concept of actually becoming lucid at all.

For example, last night I had a period in which I was constantly thinking about how I could become lucid, which for some reason involved the process of baking cakes and searching for people who could tell how to bake them. Not helping at all.
Another time when I woke up in the morning I tried thinking of the surroundings of a previous dream and how I could have a lucid dream there, but it just caused me to begin dreaming again that I was back in my dreamscape, sitting on a chair, contemplating how to become lucid. Huge facepalm moment when I woke up again.

How do I get my thoughts about lucidity to actually carry through to my dreams in a way that makes sense? I feel like I'm so close yet so far from finally having a lucid dream.
