I definitely have, but I can't seem to tell if that was from keeping the journal or not. I've had several dreams where I'd perform reality checks that would lead me to the conclusion I was dreaming.

The concept is that if you make a reality check (like checking the number of fingers you have) a normal, frequent part of your life it will logically begin to appear in your dreams, making you realize that you are in a dream and ultimately lead to becoming lucid. I wanted to try this out, but I never was able to maintain the constant reality checks, and dream journalling has always led to vivider dreams I could actually remember (and requires a bit less commitment).
