Okay, so I went to bed, I was pretty tired. I got comfortable and closed my eyes. I didn't need to wait long, after ~3 minutes I felt little paralysis in all limbs. After 5 minutes I felt completely paralysed, I could have said I don't have legs If didn't know I have. I thought this would be easy! I've never felt anything like that before, I must be heading the right way, right? But then another five minutes passed, I'm paralysed, yet conscious, however - nothings happening before my eyeballs! Then I thought that if first REM starts in 1.5 hours do I have to be awake and wait it out? I didn't have patience for that. Also, I was being distracted by little noises while I was still conscious and couldn't focus. Then I broke my paralyses, stood up, picked a scarf and wrapped it around my ears and eyes. I gone back to bed, again, I got paralysed in ~3 minutes and I'm still awake and conscious yet can't see a thing of a dream world! I decided to simply fall asleep.

I woke up after having a dream. Now I don't remember it in detail because I didn't write it down (didn't feel like it at the moment, I thought I would do it in morning but forgot the dream(I barely ever remember my dreams)). I realized one thing - I failed to do a reality check. I had no doubt in my mind that my dream was real. The funny thing is that I tried to get used to RC's yesterday (the first time I've heard about LD) I did them in real life! (I just stepped from PC to turn lights on/off) And I couldn't pull one of in the dream! Anyway, I fell asleep again and woke up again, still no RC's! I was going to sleep with intention I will have a lucid dream. Anyway, in the morning I wrote the last dream I remember with all the details in my notepad. The biggest problem with my last dream was that its start was 95+% authentic. I was just working with PC in my faculty. Then everything somewhat logically transmitted into us with brother going to street race and wrecking stuff (something like NFS:MW). Again, I haven't done any reality checks nor I realized its a dream!

So, the main question from me: How can I force myself to make a reality check in a dream?
Another question: How much more I have to stay conscious after being paralysed in WILD?
One more: Do I have to write every dream down or only a part of all dreams so my memory would store them for good?
