Perhaps I need to do some more work on dream signs or something. I don't understand how I can know I'm dreaming but not be lucid

So after waking up in the middle of a dream and recalling it I went back to sleep and was consciously aware of the dream, I drift off to sleep after waking up reasonably fast, so while I was drifting I was thinking "this is a dream, this is a dream" and I did end up in the dream and still saying "this is a dream, this is a dream" but there was no conscious 'click' that I was actually dreaming.

I always end up straight back into dreaming, I never do reality checks or look for dream signs because in a dream its the last thing that i'll ever think of. hmmm
