Hey there, I'm pretty new to this stuff, I started, half a day ago, to read a book by Steven Laberge on lucid dream and have read most of the info on this very sight. Looking forwards very much so to my first lucid dream.

My question, probably a very stupid one, is that isn't one already in a lucid dream the moment he starts doing reality checks, thinking consciously, for the reason that he has control of his thoughts during that dream?

Sorry for the trouble, thanks, Benjy.
