I've read alot of posts on this forum about constant reality checks. Where you look at the watch, turn a light knob, read a piece of text etc. They are good indicators telling you if it is a dream or not, but doing them all the time during the day is a little exaggerated.
I have controlled my dreams since I was a little kid, but its not true that we never have ordinary dreams. I often tell them to drift away, to let my mind relax. However, the times I am unsure wether it is a dream or not I've used the reality checks 'in the dream' to confirm it. But only after I've sensed the feeling of unsettlement, something is not quite right.
This is the subtle feeling you need to hunt to be able to realise you are dreaming. During the day, just be aware, just look at things and try and get that feeling you have while dreaming. This will also improve your dreams, as they will become more natural when you look for that same feeling during the dream.
I hope this explanation can help some of you that put in too much effort into the preparation.
Trying too hard always leads to failure, just let it flow.
