I've been going through this phase where there will be an obvious dreamsign and I will acknowledge in my head, "yes I am dreaming", but I will just continue on with the dream instead of becoming lucid. |

You're realising you're dreaming and so therefore do become lucid, but you are having such a low level of lucidity that you actually forget about it almost immediately. |

Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
Sig's are for losers
Try going to bed with one lucid goal on your mind. Really focus on it as you go to sleep. I find this really helps me. So when I become lucid I immediately become focused on doing that task. Ususally at that point my dream "resets" --everything that was previously happening goes away and I begin my lucid dream. |

As soon as you realize that it's a dream immediately stop what you are doing. You have very very limited dream memory (you usually can't remember back more than a few seconds. So if you keep doing a task then a few seconds later you will forget that you became lucid. Repeat "I'm dreaming" a few times and remember what that means each time. |

goal setting is key here. so is reality checking and you can solve your problem with a combination of both. |

the whole point of reality checking is to do it so that it becomes HABITUAL. How can you expect to make a habit of something you never do? Of course you're supposed to do it while you're awake... in fact most of your reality checks will occur while you are awake. |

In dreams of unspeakable joy—of restored friendships; of revived embraces; of love which said it had never died; of faces that had vanished long ago, yet said with smiling lips that they knew nothing of the grave; of pardons implored, and granted with such bursting floods of love, that I was almost glad I had sinned—thus I passed through this wondrous twilight. —George MacDonald

I see. Well that makes more sense now. I was under the impression that a reality check was just something that you should do after noticing a dreamsign or during a string of FA's to ensure that you are either awake or not. |

Beware of hitchhiking fish
lol yah i was just thinking of something like that... I am sure if I ran around plugging my nose and trying to breath every couple of hours people would start to notice... |

actually i find the reality check of holding my nose and trying to breathe can be performed without anyone noticing. These things can be performed covertly with subtlety you know! haha. |

Mez, your RC method sounds great. I was wondering if this type of reality check would work, because I haven't been doing what you called "effective" reality checks, but I've been writing IAD (I am dreaming) in sharpie on my left hand, and I haven't noticed it in my dream yet, but is that just me not doing reality checks enough? Cause it seems like it would work |

Well you can just start adding in the second part. You could wear a small bracelet of some sort that says "i am dreaming" or something to that effect on it too. |

hrms, happened again last night. Dreams have been pretty good recently, and I had a decent lucid dream prior, but started in one dream last night and it just didn't go to well. |
