what you're doing wrong is underpreparing. A lot of actors have a tendency to put faith into the moment that they step out on stage as being the moment things will go right. You have to get that feeling of truth and reality to come out during rehearsal so you have time to explore it and find the things that help you to tap into it.
If y ou find yourself lost on stage, search for the things that helped you get there in the first place. Look first to your scene partner and let them help ground you in the world of the play.

Everyone has off days. That's why it's called acting. Sometimes the best you can do is "remember" a sepctacular performance and try to duplicate it.
