Thanks, good tips.
And based on the wallpaper one I made 3 dream reminding wallpapers:
Get can get them here

Example:


Another tip:
I made a small black dot on my left hand. You spot it several times per day.

Lol Im using that as my wall paper

This is indeed good advice, 3 of my five Lucids have been because of RC's so I know this works

You could just wear a watch and make it beep every hour, also the written hand idea is quite good too.

Though the idea of RCing a lot is great putting a number on it is plain useless. I have observed when I went on an RC streak during finals last year for a couple weeks, that quality is much more important than quantity. You must ask yourself with care and concentration (there is a guid I wrote linked through my siggy on quality RCs). Wether you do 11, or 47 is less important than if you do 11 good RCs, or 47 crappy ones where you don't put in care and concentration.

I second that, regularity of RCs is a lot better, and also if you've ever noticed, you don't actually look at your wallpaper after a while, and it's just a background unless someone goes and changes it, so that isn't a good long term approach. The idea of RCing a lot is very important, but RCing a lot isn't everything, you have to have a good RC program and mind set for maximum effects.

Knowing my dreamsigns seems to work better for me, but that's just me.
