Two nights ago, I dreampt that my father was driving me to the beach. I looked out the passenger window to see that the sand had a line separating the dark sand from the light sand. Confused, I held my nose shut for a moment. After not breathing, I assumed I wasn't dreaming.

Last night, I was walking past a movie theather and read a notice on the window and could clearly read the paper that said "Closed" on it.

Am I doing this wrong? The only time I have ever had a lucid in my life was due to a dream cue. For instance

My first lucid: I was in my parents store walking down the stairs and saw my father walk up the other set. I kept walking down the aisle and heard footsteps in the other. I thought "This is definately not my Dad, no way." My dad walks in from around the corner and at that point I knew I was dreaming"

My second: This morning I WBTB around 5 to 5:30-ish, I find myself in my Bathroom shower with all of my clothes on. Yea that isn't an obvious cue. I jump up and travel through the ceiling and fly out.

Maybe I'm not thorough enough in my reality checks. What does everyone else do. Better question. What is your personal RC that you favor most.
