Ive been trying for a while now getting lucid, (with the help of this site), and I just cant seem to do it. I have always had excellent dream recall, but whenever I am in a dream it feels more like a movie with me as the star.

I have been using the FILD method to try and attain lucidity. I think my problem is doing the reality check. When dreaming, i dont even think about them, even though right before Im about to fall back asleep it is my main thought. I say to myself 'do a reality check, do a reality check' but I never do. So, am I thinking about doing the RC too late? When you guys do the RC, in your dreams or before you think you are dreaming?
