Yeah, you're quite right Chris, my subconscious is obviously monitoring my thoughts throughout the day and is ready to throw a double-six at me , but I will persevere in the battle of the wills lol.

I will say this though, that when my subconscious does want me to become lucid it normally gives me two chances in quick succession so that I'm in no doubt that I'm in a dream. One LD I had is where I'm in a room and the guy I'm talking to suddenly disappears before my very eyes, like, just melts into the background and I'm like Hey!! weird stuff, that can't happen in real life, but then dismiss the thought entirely. Then I realise that the invisible guy is still in the room when a table in front of me that's on wheels suddenly gets pushed towards me and then i'm fully lucid due to that second chance.
