I like this topic! Keep telling stories about lucid dreaming!!! What you are explaining is the WILD method. It is far more common to enter a lucid Dream with the Dream Initiated Lucid Dream (DILD) method. To be honest... thats the only way I've ever experienced lucid dreams. Therefor you have to ask yourself in your ordinary dream if you are dreaming to gain consciousness. One of the best experiences in my life!
