I see what you mean there. I was thinking about this since I had this last night and the night before. I became suddenly aware of my tactile feeling. In my leg to be precise. And I realized I must be lucid, but I never got totally aware.
I thought this was because I didn't do a RC, but I guess even that doesn't necessarily help. If this is the layer thing you said, then what should one do to go up a layer?
