last night a had a dream, it was strange because i performed the hand reality check(the one where you just look at your hand) and the nose reality check(the one where you plug up your nose and see if you can still breath fine) i did these both correctly and did them quite a lot. i even went up to my dream characters, which were close friends of mine, and said "dude im dreaming. im in a dream bro, this is sick" exact words. however i notice i did not become lucid at this point, i've become lucid 4 times and they were very short. how come i did not become lucid in that situation?
sorry if this has been brought up before, i couldn't find a thread like it
