    The last few days I haven't been able to remember many dreams. Two nights in a row were just empty, and then one morning I woke up remembering 5+ dreams, and the next night after that came out empty again.
    But this morning a few minutes after I awoke, I recalled my digital watch in a dream (very white simple watch. Very easy to remember and I thought it would be great to use for dreams.) In the dream I checked the time, and then re-checked it, and I realized the time had changed!

    Woop!

    Instead of doing something smart like checking out where I was or doing cool stuff, I kept checking my watch. I made up numbers in my head and made them appear on my watch, again and again. I thought it was so cool. I'm dreaming!! Yay!

    I've done this TWICE now, just checking out my number-changing watch. The first time (a couple of weeks ago or something) I think I was too excited and simply disappeared from the lucid dream into another dream. In the second, last night, I was definitely conscious a lot longer.

    Next, I'll try to turn my head! I sometimes think I might just be too dumb when I'm dreaming :p

      My own "dream trap" is mirrors. Mirrors make me go lucid, but when I'm lucid they're absolutely fascinating, so I will just spend the whole dream staring in the mirror. d'oh. Maybe over time, mirrors will cease to be fascinating, and I'll just move on to staring at other things...

      But if your watch is a lucid cue, and you have a lot of control over your watch (which you seem to, since you change the numbers at will), the watch may not be a bad thing. You could use it as a tool. Next time you have a dream and are obsessed with your watch, maybe you could use it to try to teleport yourself (like the numbers are coordinates of the location you want to go to, or something). Or shoot laser beams with it. Or use it to "beam" a Dream Character to where you are. You might be able to turn the watch from a distraction into something useful.

      Seems you have the same stuck with fascination problem I do! No matter what, it's a great feat to realize it's a dream I think it might be the absurdity of it or something that keeps me locked. It's so freaky but cool.

      Thanks for the tip! I'll try to make my watch awesome
