this may seem strange, but bare with me.
During the day, whenever you walk, say "lucid dream" in your head, like so:
lu-cid (1st step)
dream (2nd step)
Repeat this process EVERYTIME you take a step, and you will probably say it to yourself in a dream, once it becomes a part of your subconscious.
I like the ideea. Coupling Lucid Dreaming with something you do often everyday.Quote:

But if you have another habit you do dayly and frequently, like smoking, rubbing dreads, or other typical tics that you do everyday while you're hardly aware of it. Couple every time you feel like a smoke, Rubbing dreads...etc to the Though ''Reality Check'' and be sure to actually do a Reality Check.
But every step yoyu take is a good one. That will rubb it into your subconcious mind. I guess it would work best if you said ''Reality'' during one step and saying ''Check during the other. Non stop, but then again try not to give it too much Concious thought: Just do it without really thinking about it. That seems to be more the way the Subconcious works. So to let it become habit, part of your Subconcious, like an instict almost.
It becomes an automatic reaction to taking a step. Thinking:''Reality Check'' is a good Automatism to learn to associate and execute while walking; A situation you will also find often in dreams: You move around alot, walk alot. But it may not work that efficiently because walking is also a very automatic process in dreaming: You don't really think about it. As is everything you do or think in dreams. It goes automatically.
The Idea here is to Find a Waking-Life Habit/Automatism to BREAK this Automatic Behaviour you have in Normal Dreams.
If you could make it a real Automatism to think "Reality'' and ''Check'' at every step you take, you might make it a very very strong Automatic Response to taking steps so that it may re-occur in your Dreams.
However think of memories you have of Walking in Dreams...Usually you cannot clearly rmember taking step by step: You we're just sort of Moving around, not really concious of how. So that may cause problems in leading it into your dream as a Good way to remind yoruself to do an RC.
Think of things that happen both in waking life and in Dreams, Something you're very likely to encounter in Every Dream.
They Sky? Everytime you see the Sky you think ''Reality Check'' could work. Perhaps something* that is even MORE likely to return to you in EVERY dream would be better still.
If you could make your Mind Associate that *something with Thinking and Doing a ''Reality Check'' then you can make it an Automatic Response to think Reality Check and do one whenever you're encountered with this something*
Okay something that is always, or at least almost always, obviously and constanty present in both Waking Life and the DreamWorld. Something we run into and are confronted with dayly and many times every day in Waking life AND everynight in the DreamWorld.
anyone?
I think I might give this a go. But your only saying "reality check" your not actually performing one, so you probably won't in a dream and thus fail to become lucid
sounds intesting ill give it a shot.
