      How many times do you RC in a day?

      Also do you use anything specific to remind you to RC?

      i do a RC between 10-20 times a day and also use my watch to remind me every time it beeps.

      I don't use anything specific to RC, although I plug my nose and count my fingers about 20 times a day. I probably spend a total of 2 hours with raised awareness.
      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      I normally do like 4 tbh. I feel like doing too many would actually have negative effects because you will get sick of doing them and may not truly think about why you are performing the RC.

      10-20, 1 RC per hour. And occasionally when someones signature says "Do a reality check now"
      "If you have a dream, don't wait. Act. One of life's little rules. Got it memorized?"

      As often as 20-30.
      But really,It doesn't prove too effective the more I do it. But I just do it anyway.

      Hm... depends. I chose 30+ because I sometimes do that, but other days I just do mantras, and I say that damn near all day.

      Since I joined this site (a few days ago), I do frequent reality checks every 2 hours or so by holding my nose and raise my awareness

      I'd say that I reality check probably 100 times in a day, no joke. I reality check every 2 minutes. I have lucids every 2-3 nights as a result.

      Huh, that's actually a good idea. Setting your watch to beep every hour and reality checking when that happens. Problem is I've worn a watch for years and it never, ever shows up in my dreams.

      Anyway, I never reality check.

      I'm guessing he means he never reality checks out of habit just hoping they'll carry over into dreams, and instead uses constant awareness, questioning your surroundings in general. He probably reality checks when he suspects he is dreaming or to confirm after WILD, etc. At least that's how I would DILD if I was into that. I'm more into DEILD right now.

      That would exhaust me.

      <10. I usually just reality check when I see something really unusual or out there, to try and train my brain to be skeptical.

      if you make a post and dont have an LD count down your stats make a post to say how many you have had, if you dont know just say alot or not alot,,, just a rough indication.

      i like the idea, and over a couple of days i did it many times, by today, for example, i haven't really thought about it until now. I think the number changes relative to the last time i had an LD.
