      I know that this is a common mistake, but sometimes you really feel super-awake and there is no doubt, but I am trying to remember that I sometimes think similar thoughts during dreams as well.

      Hm, better do a RC right now, I guess.
      Good point Yuusha ! Some part of our mind thinks « Why bother RCing ? Look, this is real !», so RCs can feel pointless, at least for me too. So there must be a conscious effort to overcome this. I like to follow some aditional steps as i mentioned

      There's also an often forgotten benefit about RCing: they raise dream vividness and recall - and this increases our motivation to keep working towards lucidity.

      Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
