Ok tried this last night. As expected, I did not remember to RC untill I actually woke up. It interfered with my recall ablity because I was trying to do an RC and recall my dreams at the same time. This confused my groggy mind and could I only remember one dream. However, a few minutes after waking , I remembered a dream from early in the night. And a few hours later I remembered that I had a moment of lucidity (I never thought I would forget a lucid dream). I dont know if the RC method helped me become lucid but it definitly affected my ablity to remember it. On the other hand I was impressed with myself that I actually remembered to RC upon waking since this was my first tempt. Anyway, I think I will continue to try this; it may just take some adjustment.
