I was SO CLOSE!
Whoah. I was so close last night!
I didn't actually have an LD, but for the first time I dreamt about LDing. I was at my film-making class (dreaming about upcoming events is a common dream sign for me; in real life I'm going to the class this evening), and the teacher showed us this video, about a Dalek of all things! He told us that the video was supposed to be helpful in inducing lucid dreaming. I watched the video in great detail and found it hypnotic, but not once did I ask myself, "Is this a dream?" It's extremely tantalising; I was so close, yet so far!
Still, not bad for my fourth night!

Seems like you're on the right path. Keep reality checking during you're waking life. This should get you to ask yourself if you are dreaming and hopefully get you lucid.

It sounds like just from the awareness of the details in your dream alone that you're close.
Another good sign is alot of false awakenings, or being able to wake yourself up in an otherwise bad dream, regularly. Any sign of being in control while asleep, even in the smallest degree is something to capitolize on. What you want to do is try to remember the mindset you had in your dream when you started thinking along the lines of looking around you and realizing it's a dream.
