I mean one doesnt count their fingers too often to check if they are dreaming or not. IS there some frequency of doing these checks during the day?

There's no pat answer for that. The idea is to routinely remember to do a reality check, but not to make it so routine that you are doing it in an absent-minded manner.

The idea of journaling is to find dream signs that will remind you to RC. My father and shopping malls are two of my dreamsigns - they show up over and over again in my dreams, so any time I encounter either I RC. If you check the time a lot in your dreams, or dream of using the bathroom or anything like that, then you start doing reality checks any timy you do or encounter those things in real life.
