Sorry to double-post, but I used the trick that you recommended, Puffin, and I managed to keep my lucidity! You're awesome!
I tried the WBTB technique when I woke up around 6 am. I recalled the dream that I had right before I woke up (where I was hanging out with the president and we decided to have a race around the world), and then I told myself that when I saw certain things in that dream I would realize that I was dreaming.
When I fell back asleep, I noticed that some things didn't seem realistic, and I tried to pinch my nose. Realizing that I could breathe, I got really excited, and so I started rubbing my hands together. That kept me asleep. I wasn't where I wanted to be, so I did a dream spin and when I opened my eyes I was upstairs in my house. I tried to turn on a light, but it didn't do anything-- which helped to confirm that this was, indeed, a lucid dream. As I turned around a corner, I knew that the light would be on-- and it was. That was really, really exciting! It wasn't the most epic thing to ever happen, but it was my first ever proof of principle that I had dream control.
As I went down into my basement I told myself that my first ever ex-girlfriend was going to be waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. Dunno why I chose her, I guess because I never really got over her. She was, and we had a great time talking and things started to get, uh, hot and heavy. Unfortunately, I started to lose control at this point and I forgot that I was dreaming lucidly. My grandmother came down into the basement and totally ****blocked me, which really upset me. She just sat there talking about inane things and totally killed the mood. At this point, I woke up, and wasn't able to get back into the LD state.
It ended poorly, but it was a very cool experience! Thanks again for your help, you're amazing
