Sorry PeaceL, this happens to me too, but I have also been unable to induce lucidity out of it. Recently (as of about two or three days ago) I decided that whenever I watch a movie, see a play, or play a game (in which things are happening, and I'm an observer) I'll do regular reality checks. It hasn't worked so far, but I think I'll give it more than two days to work. Perhaps you could try this.
