Well, I have to say that I understand your frustration. Becoming semi-lucid only to lose it is frustrating. Even more frustrating is having the weirdest dream that places you in an impossible situation and still not gain lucidity. If I could lucid dream every night I would do it. But I can't. However, I do it enough to still want to induce them. My favorite induction is MILD as I slip of to dreamland in NREM dreams. I don't plan on having a DILD... ever. But when they happen DILD's are great.
