In all of my lucid dreams, except one, I became lucid with nothing that caused me to think that I was dreaming. For example: In my first LD, I was staring at the grass, it was green as usual, nothing odd about it, and suddenly I realized that I was dreaming and attempted to fly.

In my most recent LD: I was talking to a girl and i suddenly realized that I was dreaming, with nothing to trigger my thinking of the possibility that I could be dreaming.

I am not sure why i always do that.
Yes, exactly!

The idea of doing Reality Checks is a technique developed by Seminar Operators so they don't feel guilty for giving people absolutely nothing for a Three Hundred Dollar wasted Weekend. People want techniques for Lucid Dreaming, and so people make this crap up, but when we actually look at how Lucid Dreaming works, all significant Lucid Dream come because the Consciousness Energy rise up and breaks through that certain Threshold. If the Energy Level is not high enough, even if we say to ourselves "this is all a dream" it would scarsely matter, since none of the intensity would be there.

I'm glad somebody else has noticed this. One knows one is in a Lucid Dream because suddenly things are not only Real but they seem more intense than Real.

Sometimes Lucidity comes as a reward. years ago I had a dream in which I was on a commando operation in a foreign country. We had just conducted a raid and my part was to cover for the evacuation of the Main Team. So I hung back to fire upon the pursuers. But they did not come in my direction... the idiots thought our escape route was off in a whole other direction. I shot at them as they went by, missing them, and thought it was time for my own escape, in a third direction. I boarded a passenger bus and hyjacked it. I acted very tough and took charge, or tried to take charge. But there was a young lady who began to talk back, and I realized I would have a problem. If she continued to call my bluff I would have to shoot her and I didn't want to do that, and so I asked the bus driver to stop the bus... I was simply going to find another escape, if this particular one was going to be so unpleasant. I looked down and noticed I was not wearing shoes.

Here is a Hint! When you are not wearing shoes in a Dream, it means you are on Holy Ground. Getting off the bus, it looked like a gravel pit next to a rail yard, but it was exquisitely beautiful too. I levitated up and folded into a lotus postion and intoned an AUM. the air seemed to turn Violet (pinkish purple) and the air rippled in waves before about 20 feet infront of me the very fabric of Space tore open and the While Light poured out -- all into my forehead.

There was no Reality Checking there. The Dream gave me a Test and I responded correctly enough so that a great deal of Energy was released. Dreaming is all about hitting certain milestones. And these very intense and special dreams are those Milestones.
