      How would you not reconise if you suddenly started flying?!?
      If that isn't obvious then what is?

      The same way people can dream they're in a movie or a book or some other thing they like. Dream logic allows all kinds of wacky stuff without you noticing anything is wrong.
      I fly and use other powers in my dreams all the time. It never makes me lucid, because in my dream logic its perfectly acceptable.

      This is one reason this wouldn't work for me. I already use powers in most of my dreams, and it doesn't trigger lucidity. Reality Checks are more reliable. Although personally I haven't gotten into a good enough RC habit yet, I've only had one LD triggered by one.

      I believe there's something to what PaleRider has suggested, but it may not be for everyone. I know some people's dreams tend to be fairly mundane, like a distortion of their waking life. And here RC's should work well, because they "carry over" into the dream world. Personally, however, my dreams rarely have anything to do with my waking reality... otherwise I'd be performing RC's as often as I do when I'm awake. So something more fundamental is required. And it's this that led me to experiment with the "omnipotence factor." Essentially, we are omnipotent for a third of our lives, only we don't realise it. Trying to exercise this omnipotence throughout the day (to verify one's "location") may carry over more easily for some than standard RC's. Floating or flying dreams should also then alert the dreamer to their omnipotence, and therefore their "location" (in the dream world). That's what happened to me, anyway.

      It's all very frustrating though, which is what led me to experiment with supplements instead. I want guaranteed lucidity and I want it EVERY night!!
