Hehehe, I remember that ape dream...It was pretty funny

I never perform a reality check either(or use dreamsigns for that matter) but I just somehow realize it is a dream. The funny thing I realized the other is that I always say out loud something like: Why am I doing this if this is only a dream. But I say it at the same time I think it(unlike in the waking life where you think something and then say it). It is not until I say its a dream that I realize that it is one.

Also, throughout the dream I have to remind myself its a dream several times. I use my powers and all but somehow start to loose lucidity after a while. Everytime I remind myself it all becomes very clear once again...
