Hello,
I have experienced LDs (or semi LDs) and out of body experiences in the past,but all randomly. I cant figure out how I had them.

I am trying to learn to have LD's when i want to. The major obstacle I am facing is reality checks,the ones we have to do when awake.
I have read regarding this on several occasions,one cannot do a reality check in dream if one is not in the habit of doing it while awake.So,what kind of reality checks should I be doing while awake? If its been posted before on the forums,please guide me to it. Your personal suggestions and hints are most welcome too.

Thanks
