First, hello to everyone!

This is the first time I post here, but i've been reading posts of this forum from days ago. I was introduced to lucid dreaming a month ago by a friend, and now we both are trying to have one.

It was some days ago when I had what could have been a lucid dreaming. In the dream, my friend (the one who introduced me to LD) and me were running because we were beeing followed by an evil monster (too much lovecraft-reading I suppose). In a certain moment, we both stopped and we had a little dialog, with would be something like:

Me: Hey, wait! Don't you see? This is a dream!
Friend: Yes, it is! We need to turn it into a Lucid dream.
Me: Remember this dream tomorrow. What was the next step to lucid dreaming once we know this is a dream?[/b]
And then, the evil monster re-appeared and we forgot everything about lucid dreaming. The fact is, maybe because that "Remember this dream tomorrow", I recalled all the entiere dream the morning after (it has another parts)

My question is, if I found myself in a similar situation again, what should I do to turn it into a lucid dream, if I already ew that I was dreaming? Because I probably forgot it because of the monster that was going to kill me if I didn't run very, very fast. I don't know
