I have to admit that last night was the first time I ever even tempted an LD, and it was as if my conscience was wanting me to become lucid but I just wouldn't.

One example from last night was one of my dreams took place in my kitchen. Me and a friend were rehearsing lines for a play. I stood against the kitchen sink while my friend rehearsed his lines standing in front of the microwave. There is a clock above the microwave and the entire time I kept glancing up at the clock. I didn't know why, but I felt like I had to keep looking at the clock.

After waking up, and thinking about the dream, I was like, DUH, I had about 50 opportunities while just lounging against the kitchen sink to do a reality check.

Has this happened to anybody? I know I'm extrememly new at this and it will take a while, but why do you think I'm being told to do reality checks by my dreams but I won't/can't seem to figure out to do them?
