I've been keeping a dream journal since Feb. 28, and have been updating it every day, except for that weekend in Vegas where I didn't have my laptop.
I've had two DILDs, in which I flew around a bit and woke up shortly after.

I do reality checks all the time. I find it very easy to believe that at any time I could be dreaming, so, that helps.

I've known about lucid dreaming for quite a while, having read a book about it (Lucid Dreaming in 30 Days, I think it was called) that I found on my parent's bookshelf when I was in like second grade. It always seemed like too much work, though.

My signature is from a song I love called "Palmcorder Yajna," by The Mountain Goats. Basically every dream I have involving strange houses (of which there are a lot) I begin describing in my journal with the line, "I dreamt of a house."
