Now, when I am realize I am dreaming, I either become lucid in the same dream or my brain won't allow it and it'll need to restart with a new dream.

This can take some time, where I am asleep but perfectly conscience; everything is black. I pretty much wait, reassuring myself that I will lucid dream... and I do.

Is there anything else I may do in this in-between state, to make better use of my time?

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Trey
