I'm trying to become lucid, i'm doing reality checks like every half hour, and i'm trying to notice some dream signs... the only problem is, i'll have like a completely obvious dream sign (e.g. from last night: i'm suddenly sonic the hedgehog) and won't even think twice? how do i change this?
It changes with time, to get your awareness over into your dreams you'll just have to keep on checking. This might take a few weeks or maybe even some months, but eventually it while drip over into your dreams. In my case it took me some months before I did my first reality check in a dream, it gets easier once you're past that stage. You should also consider other dream related experiments like other induction methods to raise your chances.
But as long as you keep your motivation up you'll get there someday.
It's not a sudden thing. It's practiced, just like any other skill. Eventually you'll be able to spot them a mile away. I highly reccomend you look into ADA by KingYoshi.
well i have been looking at other techniques but none of them seem to be working, i find that for kingyoshi's ADA that i can't focus enough and can't find time with all my school work.. :(
Just do it in small stretches when you don't have a lot of work. I work in an office, so I have to keep my productivity up a lot. But when I take small breaks during the day I try to practice my ADA. It keeps my recall up and helps with getting lucid.
Just give it a go. It won't hurt.
It's all about training your brain to work that way.
Then perhaps ADA is not the technique for you. With dream signs, you must work on your dream recall. Focus on writing down EVERYTHING you remember, not just key things. From emotion, to light. From colour of the walls to what's on that table. Your dream sign may be something you wouldn't normally deem significant to journal down, or a general theme. Once you find your recall is at a suitable level, keep this up for [x] amount of time. The longer, the better.
After that, it's time to look for your dream sign. Note, dream signs may not be in every dream.
As for the sudden thing, that's just all about awareness. Good luck :)
