Not Becoming Lucid

I've had about three semi-Lucid Dreams, twice last year, and one last night. I put my finger through the wall last night like I had done once before, and I saw some sort of picture with squiggly lines and circles. I don't remember what exactly made me put my finger through the wall, as I don't normally do this for RCs.

Once my finger went through the wall, I was happy and I think I knew I was dreaming. But then I just went on with what I was doing before, I didn't realize "Hey! I can go fly and try all other kinds of cool stuff! I don't have to keep doing this!" The last time this happened, I invited some famous people over :roll: , but I didn't really feel I was controlling what I was doing, it just happened.

Does anyone know of anything I can do so once I know I'm dreaming I can control what I'm doing?

I'm sorry! :cry:

About all you can do is practice and believe in yourself. Belief and desire, that is all.

If it helps any, I believe in you and look forward to seeing a really cool post from you where you exercised complete control.

:D Thanks.

I had another one somewhat like that last night. I tried looking at a street sign, but it didn't change. I think I do have somewhat of a negative attitude toward Lucid Dreaming that I really want to get rid of. I'm definitely going to keep trying though. :)
