it's been a year since i've been trying to have a lucid dream now. i've tried keeping a dream journal, doing reality checks, and various techniques i've read about. i haven't had any luck at all, but i think my dream recall has improved. could you guys make a suggestion to me that suits my situation? how should i do reality checks? when do them, sometimes i just look around real quick to see if anything is out of place and other times i think about it real hard, but i truly don't feel satisfied with them.
