You are most likely losing awareness in a dream because you lack awareness in waking life. Please check out this part of WILD(sageous) tutorial. It's primarilly for WILDs, but the awareness works for other induction techniques as well. Happy dreams |

So the past month or so I've had more lucid dreams than I've ever had, about one every other night and some consecutively. The thing is every time I become lucid, I somehow, someway lose it and the dream goes on. I tell myself everytime what Im going to do if I have a lucid dream it just never works. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks |

It's an inability to stay focused and get distracted. And there's certainly a lot of things to get distracted by in dreams. |

Try to keep thinking logically and avoid falling into a routing in the lucid. There's two reasons why we usually lose awareness, the first being is that as we focus on an object we eventually get bored and of focusing and fall into a trail of thought, the second being that if you are too distracted from doing stuff by following a schedule you eventually fall into a routine of doing it, just like when you wait for the bus or as you walk somewhere we often lose our thought. It's easy to counter this by just keep thinking logically and inquisitively and try interacting alot with your scene but in a natural manner so you don't get bored of it. |

Short answer: Your not alone with this problem, I also experience it from time to time and my solution and advice to you would be to use the DEILD method or find a way to stay aware closer to the moment you start dreaming. I meditate every night which means that I am sleeping consciously for about one hour when I then start dreaming 30-50 minutes later I end up much more aware because the system that make me critical usually by this time would be lowered only starts to get lowered by this time, which means that I will end up more aware in my dreams than usual. |

Very interesting topic, as it's something that I've been thinking about as I work my way around the site like a dog sniffing around in a cow paddock. |

I agree, becoming more aware in Real life and becoming more aware in the dream go hand in hand. one helps the other. |
