Annoyed..

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. :roll:

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. :lol:
