Don't feel bad. I think everyone on here has stories about things that should have made them lucid but didn't. Like JoanaB was asking, you perhaps are doing the reality check without really thinking about it and thus do not think about it enough in your dream. Have you ever seen a scary movie and find yourself looking over your shoulder that night? That feeling of wondering if something could be behind you is kind of similar to the way you might want to do your reality checks. Look around for something strange, is this or that out of place, could this be a dream, and do your reality check...hear a strange noise in the house, do a reality check, etc. That is my take on it at least...
