I feel your pain.

It seems that just recently, the last few weeks or so, I've become lucid nearly every night but it seems like a passive attitude so it never sticks with me, or my reality checks don't work out.

A few months back I had a dream the my car blew up. WHAT! I hoped very much that I was dreaming. I found a clock that said 4pm, on the dot. I check twice more and it never changed....needless to say I started thinking about getting a new car.

A few days ago my Jeep hadn't been running for about a week. I had a dream that I was driving with my girlfriend back in my hometown. We're always challenging each other to check if we're dreaming. I laughed as I drove and said "Ha! my Jeep is running, I must be dreaming" never thinking twice about it.

For me I think a big part of it is worrying about doing something if it really isn't a dream. What if you thought that you were absolutely sure you were dreaming and said something to a stranger to induce a sexual dream....that stranger would probably file a charge against you. Good luck in the future.
