      Temporarily lucid

      Last night I had my first lucid experience. (Noticed some tattoos on my arms, which usually have none.) But I don't think it lasted. The dream went on and I think I got sucked back into it. Unfortunately the dream came to me in the morning and there are some scenes missing in an otherwise lengthy episode. If this happens again, what can I do to become lucid again if I can't hold onto it the first time?

      You need to keep reminding yourself that you are dreaming, the easiest way to do that is to do something impossible. Walking through walls works for me.

      I try to work reminders that I'm dreaming into my dream control, so I'll think stuff like "I can fly, because I'm dreaming" when I want to fly.

      Also, soing stuff that involves the senses seems to halp some people, like rubbing your hands together.

      I hate it when that happens, it's happened a few times lately so i always remember now to keep reminding myself i'm dreaming.

      Just do a reality check. Search it on the forum there are loads or techniques like pluging your nose and breathing, putting your finger through you hand etc...

      Had a similar experience like OP, except after losing lucidity I woke up - weird, I know. I can remember when being lucid I somehow convinced myself that it isn't a lucid dream () and slipped back into a non-lucid state.

      I think it's important for people new to lucid dreaming (like me) to keep reminding themselves they are in a lucid state once lucidity is attained, otherwise it can be lost easily and who knows, you may end up forgetting you had a lucid experience in the first place!
      "All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."
      Thomas E. Lawrence

      Thanks for the tips. Hopefully now that I know how easy it is to lose lucidity I'll be able to keep it better.
