I find that the more I dream check my dreams seem to develop counters to them, making it harder to go lucid. I usually do the pinch nose check, but lately I have a really runny nose that makes it hard to tell it I can or can't breathe because of the stuffy nose. Also as soon as I learned about the mirror trick no more mirrors appeared in my dream even thought they used to appear quite often. I can look at my hands and feet and they'll look very normal. Electronics do work and usually send me into another dream that's so strange that I can't help but get caught up in it. Does anyone else have these problems?
