What are some ways to get into the habit of doing reality checks regularly? Do you just do them whenever you suddenly think about dreaming/reality checks and you eventually get into the habit, or is there a technique you can use?
I do them when ever weird things happen or I feel weird or like something is just peculiar. I also do it every time i wake up(false awakening) as well as whenever I think of dreaming
I do them whenever I see (or think) about any of my dream signs. The main situations I use are those:
- Upon waking up (to prevent FA’s)
- When I’m writing in my DJ (again, to prevent FA’s)
- When I am scared (in ND’s, there are many things that can scare you)
- When I see something illogical
- When I hear or see people talk about LD’s, or when I think about LD’s myself.
In this case, I must do a RC right now 
I just do RCs more or less randomly throughout the day, as there is absolutely no chance of me recognizing anything odd in a dream. My mind is way too foggy during the drem state. Occasionaly, one of those random RCs will happen when I’m dreaming, and then boom, I’m lucid.
I do them randomly whenever I remember, and I have to try to remember to do it more often though…
Personally,
I also do it when I think about LD, but I have recently downloaded an iPhone app which reminds me to RC randomly every hour (when you want). It’s easier than a regular clock mode since you don’t have to reschedule it everytime it rings.
hi,
I tried to do one every time i go through a doorstep.
And that’s it now i got used to think about during an RC during the day.
You have to force yourself first then the habit will sink down your mind.
