I have a welcoming message on my phone everytime i turn it on that reads: "Are you dreaming or awake"?

Moblie Phones are good tools, i like your idea of CILD

i used set my alarm every few hours to perform reality checks but used to get annoyed at the BEEP BEEP BEEP so i never used to perform the reality checks

Ive had a few dreams when ive tried using my phone, i always think its good when your inside a dream when it doesnt work.
