now it's dark...

had a lucid one last night that ended rather quickly, and need some advice.

I was in my bathroom looking into the mirror and saw that my teeth looked like, well, not my clean white straight teeth, but rather freddie mercurys twisted smile (no offence at all to that great man). I then realised I was dreaming, and became rather excited, which isn't a normal emotion at all for me upon this realisation. But I kept my cool and calmed myself. Next I was going to try and walk through my bathroom wall, but instead decided to close my eyes and think of what I wanted to turn this dream into. This turned into a rather new experience for me. I closed my eyes and all went black and I guess looking back my dream was probably ending, so I stared to yell out something like ''attain lucidity! or keep lucid!" and found that without a lapse or gap from the begining of the dream to when I found myself lying in bed still calling for lucidity in my head in the waking world had occured. So I had gone from being alseep in a dream, to the dream ending and trying to stop this from occuring, to waking up still attempting to save my dream all without losing my awareness of what was happening.

I know this probably all seems a bit confusing as reading back on it, it sort of confuses me...but I would still like some advice on keeping lucid after darkness has occured.

Happy Dreaming. ;)

This has happened to me a couple times recently and every time I end up staying still and waiting for the dream to come back to me and it eventually did. Sometimes it is really hard for me to stay focused and do a DEILD.
