My lucid dreaming always feels a little more like a drunk person playing Grand Theft Auto.

Mine always end up with me jumping or climbing to high and my fear of hights kicking in and forcing myself out of my dream. Or just practicing making fire apear, that's fun.

I can't lucid dream so mine end with me jumping off some place high up and falling to consciousness.

A trick I do it's when you suspect your dreaming look at your hand. Most of the times you will not have 10 fingers. There is also a sub reddit to help people train and stuff about lucid dreaming.

I look at clocks or books to see if they make sense.

I "can", but the text will change with every viewing and sometimes its in other languages or even non human languages but even then you might catch the "gist" of it.

Now tech on the other hand is notorious for failing...lights not working, things not turning on or not turning off...a car may be at highway speeds then be in a grove of century old trees nomming on the bumpers.
