I will add that I am using this method with a different RC and, unlike previous attempts, I am not getting discouraged because I can look at a graph of how often I'm doing the RC and it's slowly creeping up higher and higher. Before an RC works in your dream, it has to become a habit. If you think about it, the goal is not to have an LD, it's to develop a new habit. Thinking about it that way has made this much easier for me because there are all sorts of operant conditioning tools that suddenly make sense to use.
