      They are usually spontaneous, but I also occasionally notice something strange.

      Spontaeous

      Spontaneous, but if for some reason it's not spontaneous, it was triggered by a reality check.

      The title should actually be What Causes Your DILDs. Mine is that I notice something weird usually.

      I've only realized once, but when I did, no reality checks were needed. Bizarrely, I just knew and noticed that I was dreaming. :S

      The majority are spontaneous. After becoming lucid, I will look around for something strange, and then reality check for affirmation to ground me in the dream.

      Sometimes, I will spontaneously think to myself, "This is a dream" without even fully understanding what that means.

      All my DILDs have been spontaneous so far... I can dream of the weirdest things and not react, and then while dreaming of some routine it will just kick in.

      Hand reality checking worked for three out of five of my lucid dreams. If it is a nightmare I WILL know I am dreaming, but probably won't have the intelliegnce to do anything, but force myself to wake up.

      Noticing I am dreaming in a nightmare is something I picked up as a kid. I never knew about lucid dreaming, but I really think if I can increase my nightmares then I can eventually learn to gain control instead of just waking myself up.

      1 dreamsign, 16 spontaneous. The spontaneous are a number of things. Realizing things are strange, like odd behavior, people I don't know seeming familiar, etc., and seeing a clock and realizing it didn't agree with what time I went to sleep and then realizing I was asleep and dreaming, traveling down roads that are supposed to be familiar but I've never been on before, etc.

      Preplanned routines from day residue. Includes doing reality check when a light fails to work properly when switched on. I leave a small light on during sleep to autosuggest seeing lights in the dream. Most likely the lights fail in the dream and I become lucid.

      I have only had 2 DILD I think, both of them were triggered in the dream by fear.
