So I've had one lucid dream to date... unfortunately I was 'thrown' into it and didn't really do it on my own accord (ie I fell of a building and didn't die - a pretty extreme reality check and certainly not of my will).

So my problem is that even though I seem to have alot of dreamsigns in my repitoire, I never seem to recognize them! Like for instance... my brother who lives several thousands miles away often appears in my dreams and I don't seem to take notice that he shouldn't be there. I made up petty excuses in my mind or just think to myself 'oh cool he came all the way from England' I know the bell and whistles should be going off in my head but they aren't...

Has anyone had a problem like is? Any help would be appreciated I hunger for another lucid dream the first one was so good lol.
