I had three dreams last night. The first one was some weird ass dream relating to what I do for a living.

I usually wake up after my dreams, so after the first one I was lying in bed, and trying to get to do a WILD so I didn't bother to record it in my journal. I said to myself... remember these words... and remembered a sequence of 8 words to help me remember my dream from just now, so when I woke up I could backtrack from the end.

Well, I found myself in a second dream repeating those words to people whom I work with. The funny thing was, I told them "Yes, and to remember my dream I am repeating these words. I'm also trying to go lucid."

so I told other people in my dream I was trying to become lucid, as well as talking about a dream I just had, and it didn't occur to me at all that I was dreaming.

there's got to be a better way, because reality checks don't work for me at all, as I'm totally oblivious to what's going on around me.
