Switch to running screen session after logout?

Question

I tried screen -r and this is what I get:

$ screen -r
There is a screen on:
    1877.pts-0.domain   (10/21/2014 05:17:52 PM)    (Attached)
There is no screen to be resumed.

How can I resume the listed screen?

Detatch the old screen by adding -d:

$ screen -rd

screen -x attaches to non-detached sessions.
