Ok so what happens is everytime I get lucid, in the dream it seems crystal clear (or at least clear) and every time I think "Wow it's like real life". But when I wake up it seems foggy, like a normal dream. Then it seems like I wasn't really in control anymore, though I know I was. What's also confusing is how I wake up and remember how clear it was when the actual memory is foggy.

How do I keep my dreams clear when I wake up? I think it would help if I really worked on my recall (my DJ should have way more entries) but is there anything else that will solve this problem?
