Today i was sorta day sleeping cause iw as tired, and i was in this wierd dream, where like, it was a rainbowy maze, and i was sorta camera-cruising through it, and i was saying, Hey is this a dream? and i think i was putting some meaning into it, and i kept saying it, and yet the dream continued through this camera vision, and i couldnt really seem to control anything or start a lucid dream.
Hi MentalWar, I know I’m a little slow on the greeting but welcome to the forum!
I have the same problem you do. I remember one time, I was dreaming that I was lying in my bed trying to get to sleep. The radio was literally telling me that I was dreaming, and I realized that I was dreaming and tried to take control but couldn’t. It’s frustrating, I know.
I solved the problem by WILDing. When I WILD I do have lucid dreams, but for some reason I still can’t DILD and take control even if I do realize I’m dreaming. Maybe someone else can give you a tip that will work, but if you are like me then WILDing is an option you should definately consider.
i tried wilding but it didnt help me. Fortunatly, i DILDed last night and was succssessful. Wierdly i got my dream to last a few hours as it felt and then i decided to wake up, thus having a false awakening. =P it was truely a unique feeling being in a dream like that. ^^
phantastic thing about WILD is, than it gives 100% procent of success, if you can do WILD good anough 
its really easy for me now, and it took something like 2-3 months of making 4+1 WILD.
I wanna say, than I have almost no DILDs now, when Im good in WILD... and its weird for me, but... what can I do? for sure I will not do RTs xD
in a WILD i always get jolted awake because im trying to get to the SP part of it, but i get too numb and uncomfortable XD. Also, now i know how convincing a false awakening is… O_O
go to sleep with a very real goal,
like finding a purple milkshake and as soon as you drink it you are hyper-lucid
so you can dream things that make you more lucid? never thought of anything like that.
