Thread: How often should i perform reality checks, would you suggest?

Well every 15 min is too much. Try like 5 times a day. Make it fun. If you think you can still do more, try more. Keep it fun.
You gotta do it sencerely, and so if you get bored of it, you might not be able to really give it much focus.

Just a note: When you RC, be critical. What I mean is that you RC to know if you're in a dream or not. So when you RC, you need to, like, know and get used to the fact that you really might be in a dream, no matter what you might be thinking or where you believe you are. I've had so many dreams where I RC thinking "I'm so sure I'm awake" then it turns out I'm dreaming. Trust me you'll experience this sooner or later, which will make you really understand that you actually may be dreaming any time, even now.

So RC trains your criticality. You should do them while thinking "No matter what I think now, I might be in a dream. Even if I'm sure I'm not, I might be wrong because I am wrong about where I think I am almost every time in my dreams"
In other words, you can't trust yourself when 'feeling' if you're in reality or not. Do the RC thinking "OK 50/50 I'm dreaming or not"
OK so this helps because it develops your critical mindset. Why you need it? Well, simply put, it'll make you question reality more and better. For example, if you see a dragon, and you have a strong critical mindset, then you are more likely to be suspicious about your reality. After all, this critical mindset does make you not trust your typical voice in your head that might try to explain it as "circus being in town" or whatever. As you might know, that voice tries hard to explain things based on a given that you're in reality. When you stop believing that you're surely in reality at any given moment (or in other words, develop a critical mindset), you open up the new option to your voice in your head, the option that you might be in a dream.
