Thread: Dream realization fail

I had a dream last night that really frustrated me when I woke up. I was walking down a hall and remember thinking to myself 'I am dreaming' but it didn't turn into a lucid dream. I don't remember doing a reality check or seeing a dreamsign before it, I just suddenly realized it. I can't remember any other dream that I've had where the word 'dream' even came up. How can I make it so that I will become fully aware of the dream if it happens again?

Practice.

Keep DJing, RCing, and being positive. It comes with time.

Cheer up. I'm assuming your new to lucid dreaming. That, my friend, is progress. It will get better in time.

I consider this to be progress as well. Pretty soon, you will be having real lucid dreams.

Do you think maybe you're doing half-ass reality checks? Because sometimes when I do, I end up having either reality checks that tell me I'm not dreaming or just tell myself that I am dreaming but not lucid.
