I dream a lot every night but I never have an LD. I tried for a long time to have my watch as a reality check. I looked at my watch every time I entered a building or walked past a mirror. I thought this would help with waking up in the dream. But it didn't. I did look at my watch in the dream but I didn't "wake up".

I seem to have a huge problem noticing my dream signs. From time to time I literally think inside the dream. I notice something in the dream and I find myself thinking "Hmm I have to call my mom and tell her about that later." or something along those lines. So I'm actually quite aware of what's going on in the dream but I don't notice anything strange to set me off into thinking that it just might be a dream.

Now... I have a theory as to why I don't "wake up". I daydream a lot, and I'm not good at ADA (all-day-awareness). Mindfulness isn't my strong point.
Can this be my problem or do I just have to do more reality checks or something?
