      Unhappy Problem Reality Checking

      Random reality checks have not really been working for me, so I decided to tie my reality checks to common everyday items. First I started with doors. For about two weeks, I tried to reality check every time I went through a door, and I was successful with that, but I noticed that during that time, I did not recall one single dream with a door in it. My recall did not drop, there just were no doors. When I finally gave up, that night, I had a dream in which I was in a hallway full of thousands of doors, but I didn't reality check (probably because I had given up). This exact pattern has happened for everything I have tried to reality check for. Please help me figure this out.

      Try ADA (All Day Awareness). Get that tutorial in the Attaining Lucidity forum. It works much better than random reality checking. Another thing is to simply get in the habit of constantly questioning reality. It is much less crazy than in sounds.

      If anybody also speaks the above language, then please PM me ASAP!!!

      Hmmm... I feel your pain, especially when it comes to text-based reality checks. I'll do this to books, and then nothing but action-based dreams for a week. The idea with random RCs is that you're tying them to the only constant in all of your dreams: you! You can't guarantee that other objects or situations will occur, so you're trying to make the RC constant enough you'll dream of doing it. The only advice I have is to keep at it; maybe try some self-hypnosis in addition, as it seems to help me with recall at least.
