I know this has been discussed before but I tried some methods and they didn't work.

So last night, I had a dream about taking a shower with my friend in a giant tub of frozen peas. I looked down and saw my feet, and I thought oh! I'm dreaming. But then I immediantly found myself fading, so I tried dream spinning and I ended up at the begining of the dream. This happened a few times and finally I just woke up. How do you become lucid and stay lucid with out having to do that? I feel like I'm just repeating a level on a really hard game and can't get forward. >
