Woo, well it started off with a really vivid dream, there was a girl round mine and we was going to, well, u know , the dream was everything leading up to it, and it must have been like 30 mins or so in dream time. The dream did feel so real, and I was thinking I was going to tell my friends what happened etc, everything was in the greatest of detail. As the girl was in the bathroom, I remembered to get some 'protection' from downstairs, as I went downstairs I noticed something odd, that there was a pile of furniture for some reason blocking the stairs... looked at my hand (it's the only reality check I do, even though rarely), and some of my fingers were flickering! Thought great I'm lucid!, what shall I do... decided to carry on with what would have happened in the dream, but for some reason it just kinda faded away!

Any ideas what to do to prevent this? I guess I should've started shouting verbal commands or something straight away.
