Reality Check Issues

I want to lucid dream really bad and I know its possible and I know that it will eventually happen. My recall seems to be okay. Some nights I dont remember any (usually after smoking pot). But most nights I can remember at least 2. My main issue is that I can't remember to do any RCs. Throughout the day I think about lucid dreaming and I'm like "O shit I need to start doing my RCs" but i always forget. I havent found a common dreamsign in my dreams so thats probably one reason, but I was also planning on doing a RC after every time I open a door. I probly open like 9 doors a day and remember the RC once. Anyone have tips? I just wrote R.C. in huge letters with blue sharpie on my hand so hopefully thatll help.

I've got a similar situation going on, so I am taking a break from the greens (from what I have read, it seems some people dream fine when they smoke, and others like us seem to have the dream recall machine turned off) and doing as many WILD attempts as I can every morning. My thought is that the RC's (I'm working on the breathing and hand through hand currently) and dream sign recognition will take time to get hard wired into my activities, so in the mean time I'll try other methods. I was trying to influence my dreams last night by reading the boards, and plan on incorporating it into my WTBTs tonight. I will just die laughing if I dream about some LD related material, and miss the whole thing...haha
Wish I could give you some actual insight, but here’s to our attempts, eh?

A simple and easy was of doing reality checks in the day and not forgetting is setting the reminder on your moblie phone every hour on the hour, put in a message that will make you question reality, somthing with the message "Am I Dreaming oe Awake?" then do your reality checks. I forget to do RC's during the day so i try and use technology to help me :)

The only problem with technology is that you might become dependent on it. In dreams you won't most likely have a cellphone reminding you about RC, so you should try to remember to do them in other situations too. Not that technology is bad, but don't rely on it alone.

I don't do RC in real life just after some strange things happen but not often. Maybe I should and maybe it will bring me more lucids but when you get in touch with your dreams you will soon be able to spot that something isn't right and then you just have to remember to do a RC.
