I'm able to recognize that I'm dreaming, but I'm not able to go lucid.
you are basically saying.."I become lucid, but I don't become lucid"
what I think is that you really don't become lucid, saying "ooh good I'm dreaming " doesn't mean you know you are dreaming.
A Lucid dream is when you KNOW you are dreaming, it has nothing to do with what you say, what you do, or how vivid is the dream...
