Welcome to DreamViews! I also have had many firends ask me why I would want to lucid dream? That should be an automatic "face slap question" in my opinion, j/k. That is a perfectly fine start. Just keep working and you will be reeling off lucids in no time. Make sure when you are performing your reality checks, that you aren't just "going through the motions." Take a moment to look around at your environment and picture/imagine that it is a dream right now. Then perform your reality check and test it. Good luck to you and again, welcome!
