It's been 4-5 days now and no lucid dream. However, I have not been a good boy and have not followed the examples pointed on here. Such as spontaneously asking myself "am I dreaming" and doing reality checks such as counting 10 fingers, looking around my room and sticking my thumb into my palm.

I have however, been writing in m dream journal which are all quite absurd after reading through them.

It's 10:50 close enough, shall I start asking myself if I am dreaming and doing reality checks from now on until I go to bed to increase my chances? I'll go to bed around 1am.
