It seems like you could use this to become lucid too; if you re-enter a non-lucid, and you were awake long enough to realize you were dreaming, you should instantly be lucid. I became lucid accidentally like this once when I recognized a place I had just been dreaming about. And I remember having nightmares I couldn't escape from because I would wake up and go back to sleep, right back into the dream, so I would have to get up and really wake up good so I wouldn't go back. I'm going to try it for turning non-lucid into lucid. Thanks for the idea.

That's a good idea! I think i'll try that and see if it works! Might be a good way to induce a lucid dream seeing as i'm in another dry spell (no fair...).

Invadergarf, another very effective method is verbal commands. It works well for me. Simply say out loud "stay lucid" or something to that effect.
