lucid

recently most of the time when i am dreaming i am able to realize that its possibly a dream and then i dont get very excited any more about being lucid , all that happens is that i try to change little things from then on , for example if i feel attracted to a cute stranger i try to keep that person in the dream , or if something is frightening i try to make it go away but that not really lucidity to its full potential like i used to do before , its almost like i am in a state that i am between being completely lucid and not lucid at all , like a semi lucid state and then short after that i tend to wake up and some times if the dream is interesting enough i am able to fall back asleep and continue it , so gthe question is how do i improve this semi lucid state to a full lucid state.
please forgive me if there is grammer and other mistakes because i am not a native speaker, thanksssssssssss in advance.
