Was this your first LD ever or just in the last year?

I just started LDing this year, and I can't imagine going a whole year without one now. Even though I don't LD often now, going to bed every night for a whole year in hopes of an LD has got to wear you down. Good job for sticking with it. Hopefully an even bigger payoff awaits you!
It was my first in just the last year. I was having them on a regular basis for a while a couple years ago (probably because I was sleeping more than) and would have one about every 3-4 weeks. And yep it was rather wearing me down a bit at times wondering when the next one would be.

I've yet to do a reality check out of habit in a dream, this dream I suspected it may be a dream and so tried to prove it. Most of the time my mind makes up silly excuses for whatever is happeneing in the dream and I don't question it. Like if a dog is talking, it's only because it's a new breed of dog that sorta thing.

One thing I have noticed in the past, is that with the majority of my lucid dreams, I've woken up from them lying on my back. I hardly ever sleep on my back as a result of it not being as comfortable. If I try to fall asleep on my back, no matter how tired I am, it just seems to keep me awake. Perhaps this has something to do with bringing on lucidity for me. Who knows, but worth looking into.
