I have been having a hard time trying to lucid dream and at the moment my hope for lucid dreaming has been decreasing .
Then suddenly...*the story*:
I was looking at my hand telling my self "i will lucid dream tonight!"
..when i was in my regular dream my hand popped right infront of my face then i screamed: OH MY OH MY! IM IN A DREAM! IM DREAMING.

Then the dream because a bit vivid (not much,maybe just 5%)
Then i was trying to make myself wake up inside the dream,trying to fly,trying to control stuff

But i realised that i am in no control ,
Almost like i havent succeded and the dream wasnt fully a Lucid dream.
But i was bery happy to have a step further into my goal!

So can anyone tell me how to master this technique ?
