Oh, one more thing that I think might be noteworthy - 3 out of the 5 lucid dreams that I've had so far have been induced by - or, at least, involved - me doing the hand check/finger count reality check in my dream. The other 2 seemed to just have been randomly triggered, so I haven't used any other reality checks in the dream world except on their own, to have fun, after already realising that I was dreaming. And in every one of these dreams, my hands have looked the same - normal in colour and form but with six fingers. Always six fingers. One thumb and five others. In these dreams, I've double or triple-checked that that's how many fingers I have, as I knew right off the bat that the normal number is five and I realised what it meant if the number was different. I have not yet had a dream in which I performed this reality check and it failed to trigger lucidity. At least, not one I remember.

Also, although I have a lot of recurring dream signs listed, I'm actually not sure if I have that many that I can really rely on because most of them have only shown up two or three times so far. School and family are by far my two most frequently recurring dream signs and they're also regular elements in my waking life! And although there are some mornings where I have loads of dream recall to document, I don't always manage to come up with anything to recall. Particularly not on school days, when I have to be in such a rush to get ready and get taken there right after I wake up. I usually manage to score a few minutes for recall in the bathroom, though, so I'm usually not empty-handed.
