I am doing all the reality tests, the HIT and MISS technique, asking myself if I am dreaming many times during the day, and when I do certain repeatitive activies as well. I also keep my journal and have been doing this for about a month yet. Yet I can not yet recognize... for example:

I posted this before, but I looked at a clock, looked away, then looked again and it was a different time. I tried to FIX the clock instead of realizing I was dreaming.

I had a dream where I was looking through my wallet and had 10 or so one dollar bills, I closed it and opened it again to find that they were all 100's. I just got happy instead of realizing.

Yet another one, my friend Eric shows up at my house, with only one leg. He said he learned how to detatch it and does it every so often. I just called him weird...

This dream was a reaaaaally odd one... I could not do anything because my hands were backwards. If I tried to pick anything up I would just drop it. Then I looked up shocked, then looked back down and they were good as new.

Basically just wondering if there is a way to drastically increase the ability to obtain lucidity and notice these extremely obvious dream signs. Any got any personal advice maybe?? Thanks all.
