I started a thread the other day about waking up after thinking I had become lucid, but last night I DEFINITELY did become lucid. I was in a speedboat that was travelling on a motorway (highway) at great speeds, and I was terrorfied that we were going to crash, but then I suddenly thought how odd it was that a speedboat was travelling on land and I thought of the film, Waking Life, where the guy gets a lift in a speedboat that is also a car near the beginning of his lucid dream (those who have seen it will know what I mean). I suddenly realised that I was in a dream. But before I had the chance to do anything I saw the dream fade away and within a few seconds I had woken up!

Are there any tips on how to stay lucid when I realise? I am confident that tonight I will become lucid, but I reeeeaally don't want to suddenly wake up when it happens again.

Thanks.
