Basically this morning when I woke up I tried to WILD with no luck (I don't seem to be able to get into SP very well) so I thought I'd try DEILD. Recently I have been waking up after almost evey single dream (with no alarm etc.) so this seems perfect for me. I woke up, didn't move and thought about the dream I was just in.

The rest is kind of vague; I think I was only the faintest bit lucid. The first thing I did in the dream was RC (as I've never had a proper lucid before) and I could breathe through my nose when I was pinching it. Excited I quickly tried to push one hand through the other but only the tip went through. I remember my hands being blurry as well. At this point I completely lost lucidity and the dream carried on as if that had never happened

I think DEILD is the way for me (although I'm gonna keep trying to WILD).
I know I needed to become aware of my senses e.g. feel things, taste things, smell things etc. but I don't understand why I lost my lucidity straight after an RC.

What did I do wrong and what can I do to prevent this happening in the future?
Thanks for the help
