Having a bunch of Semi-Lucid Dreams

So lately I am having a bunch of semi lucid dreams where I do a reality check like blowing my nose while plugged, but I don't fully become lucid. Like I might even think to myself, "Holy crap im lucid dreaming" and I even do things like rubbing my hands together to make the dream more stable, but I don't actually do anything besides thinking how cool it is that I am dreaming.
Also, last night I had a dream where I was dreaming and then fell asleep and had a dream within a dream. In the sub dream, I became semi lucid by doing a reality check, but I didn't do anything besides feeling the enviroment to stabalize the dream. Then I woke up from the sub dream and in the first level dream realized I had a lucid dream, but thought that I was awake.

Any tips on how to become fully lucid even after doing a reality check?

Repeat "this is a dream" about ten times, out load if possable.

Should I do this when I am inside the dream or before I go to bed?
When I became semi lucid I didn't have any memories from the day before while in the dream. It was as if I knew I was dreaming but I had no control over it, even myself. :o

Inside the dream, even if only in your mind. It is a hard transition to make, but easier than getting lucid without being semi-lucid first. You are doing good, just practice. Also repeating it as you fall asleep is never a bad idea.

Would "This is a dream" be a better translation?

Yes. Sorry. Just a typo. This is a dream.
