Welcome to the forum! Many of us struggle w/that, & all you have to do is try again, that is all there is to it! When people get excited in a LD, they tend to wake up. Just try to remain calm! And the answer to that is yes, it has happened, but I already knew what was going on!

Hi, welcome to the baord...i've never actually had someone tell me i'm dreaming, although i'll never forget the biscuit tin my brother gave me in a dream that said 'open to lucidity' and i failed to read the meaning behind it! I often miss dreamsigns, or realise i'm dreaming but can do nothing about it...

IrishCream--I am the same way. I only just recently had a dream when I finally realized to do a reality check. Let's see how long it will take to get another I was thinking of ways to impress on your conscious to help remember to look for dreamsigns and do reality checks. I thought of drawing out dream scenarios on paper and me saying to self 'reality check'. I figure if I draw--it will make an impression on my mind. I also thought about writing. When I write poems and my short stories, they make important impressions to me. Maybe write a story about you achieving your goals in your dreams. Maybe write a poem about it. I hope this helps you and rafterman and anyone else

Heh. Its a funny thing about lucid dreaming when it comes to me. I usually end up having to convince the dream characters around me that I'm lucid. I'd suppose that has a reflection of waking life, cause I always feel that people don't really understand what I mean by lucid dreaming when I tell them I can do it. I usually end up having to explain it to them in depth, which is why I probably have the same scenario unfold while lucid. The main (and more positive) difference between the two, is that when I'm awake, I can only explain to someone what lucid dreaming is, when I'm dreaming, I can prove my lucidity by jumping into the air and flying around the yard for a little while. 8) Take That you skeptical dream people!
