when i have lucid dreams they slip away quickly. but lately i have had trouble becoming lucid. i reality check often when awake but seem not to while dreaming. i fly often so i remind myself while awake that if you find yourself flying you must be dreaming - but last night i flew and it seemed complete normal to me - is there a way to embed the flying thought so that when i fly i can recognize that i must be dreaming?

First of all, not to be rude or anything, but can you please use better grammar? That was hard to read.

To be honest there is no special trick to becoming lucid.

I didn't exactly get what you meant, what is your problem exactly?

How and when do you do your reality checks? What's the exact process you go through? Which RCs do you use, what is your behavior and mindframe when you do them?

There are a few things I guess you could do to help with the flying Dream Sign. Maybe look at pictures or draw pictures of yourself flying, thinking the whole time about lucid dreaming and reality checking. Put pictures or words about things related to flying around your environment, so that when you encounter them you think about flying and immediately reality check. Things like the words or pictures of planes, birds, parachutes, etc.

A good trick is the WBTB technique. Combined with MILD or autosuggestion, it can be very powerful for creating a lucid dream.
