Hi Northwest,

I dont have those long dreams very often, but when I do I easily jump into LD. I'm hoping to have more of those 'all night' LD's, but my sleep patterns are not what they used to be.

I think that doing those reality checks when awake during your normal day is vital to realizing and becoming lucid in your dreams.
Just going thru the physical motions of touching something, spinning, asking yourself out loud, reading posters and billboards, become behavoirs that are easy to recognize when we are dreaming.

Just my own observations,
