Why! Why! Why!

Why do i keep missing my dream signs? Several days ago i wrote down every single one of my dream signs. Then last night i saw two but i couldn't recognize them, they were so obvious but the most obvious one was my childhood neighborhood which i dreamt about again, i could have became lucid if i was able to recognize that dream sign. I couldn't become lucid, what i was doing was so unimportant that i forgot what i was doing but i know i was just walking around the house, why can't i recognize my own obvious dream signs? Especially when its a city that i don't live in any more? How do you take the time to recognize those signs?

Do you take the time to wonder if your dreaming while your awake? One of my favorite questions to ask my self "where ever I am" is: Whats it like where you are right now?

That's it! That's what it is, because as soon as the dream starts, i just want to do something. Sometimes, i don't take the time to stop and think if i'm dreaming, i'm too caught up in the dream, without realizing that i'm dreaming, now i see.

I'd really suggest checking out the reality check tutorial! http://dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=92917

Thanks, but what i'm saying is is that i get too caught up in my dream and i don't take the time to recognize my dream signs. For example, last night i dreamt about two of my dream signs, one was my old neighborhood. I can't don't even know if i knew it was my dream sign in the dream. And then this morning after a wild, i had the same dream sign just this morning and i couldn't recognize it, but i did become lucid for a few seconds, i'll check out the tutoral again though.

I finally recognized a dream sign and i became lucid for almost the entire dream, except for 2 seconds, then i regained lucidity; but then the dream ended.
