After a while, you'll become familiar with how you'll feel in your dream. With my LD's, I have felt distictivly different. However, 2 that I've had when I was little I didn't feel different other than I knew I could wake up if I wanted to (both were nightmares). I did have one recently where I was lucid, but it was passive (didn't take control and jsut watched the dream), but lost lucidity, and I didn't feel diff. But everyone is diff

Anyway, have you read the tutorial on MILD? MILD Tutorial - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

Reality checks (RC). Do them often throughout the day. Don't ask what they are. Do some searches and you'll find out what they are . Many people have a watch set and do them every 10-30mins while awake. I could never be arsed with that so did them as I remembered or if a situation felt like I could be dreaming

Mantras. I use "I will know when I'm dreaming" and "I will perform reality checks/ RC's". Pick 1-3 if you like and rotate through them. Say one a few times then switch to another a few times and back and forth

I have not stuck with doing RC's, so my MILD count is low. School's out so I'll be trying more

I'd stick with it for a month and really work at it. Keep on scheduel and don't frustrate yourself. Also, I've found that rereading dreams or browsing on DV puts my mind in a state thinking of dreams, and have found I have better dreams after being on DV for a while. That's jsut me, but try it out!

Find something that works, and go with it. Keep with the RC's and mantras, but maybe try the rereading your dream journal for a few weeks and see if that helps. Some foods also increase the chance of more dreams (Apple juice for me)

Do some research and pick 1-2 things (along with RC and mantra) and keep at them for a few weeks before switching. Sorry this is long, lol
