***urgent*** That caught my eye, worked I guess, even though I'm a day late. Let me tell you my short story. In the early days I failed miserably at telling myself I would realise that Im dreaming. I have NEVER induced a lucid dream by doing a reality check in the last 20 years. I only started having lucid dreams regularly once I started taking daily meditation seriously. Im not saying that is the way for you, but try to be a little more patient and study this forum as much as you can and find out what does work for you through trial and progress.
