While, I've only recently made a forum account here, I've been doing reality checks often and dream-journalling for a few weeks. But one thing I find in nearly all my dreams is that they seem to play out like a movie, in the way that I don't feel I can interact with them to even discover that I am in fact, dreaming. A few times I have made the discovery that I'm dreaming, oddly enough on mundane activities like crashing my car or quitting my job, but it's been completely accidental, never by a realisation that I'm dreaming and performing a reality check.

Will this sort of altered way of dreaming come with practice, or is there something I'm missing?
