how do you count how many reality checks that you've done by the end of the day? I think that's the only problem-you lose count.

Other than that i think this is a really nice method

but also do awareness checks, in which I look for things that are unusual or seem out of place, or just become totally aware of what is going on around me by noticing something I have not noticed before. [/b]
^^that right there is VERY helpful. Awareness. To me, they make reality checks absolete. Once i started doing the awareness thing, i started to see myself having more lucid dreams and with a lot more control as well. But then again, in the 2 years? that i've been doing lucid dreams, i have NEVER even once become lucid by reality checks...soo....take what you will
