I almost gave up hope, but then the other night I had a really close to Lucid dream!

I was talking to my sister and mentioned how we should both do a RC as it coud mean we where dreaming. I did the finger through palm one and my finger went through my palm so i thought ''wait, that doesn't normally happen! This means I must be dreaming! That means I am lucid!!!'' Then I thought about how weird it felt, it was kind of frightening to have my finger going through my palm? Then I tried it again and it still went through... but weirdly I was more pre-occupied with the fact that having my finger going through my palm was a weird sensation and I forgot all about the fact that this meant I was dreaming and could become lucid!

Then I don't remember anything after that :/

Am I on the right tracks? How do I stop myself thinking about other things or getting frightend about being lucid?
