How long till.....

[Clidu]

How long does it take for a habit to then become a habit in my dreams? On days off my alarm goes off once every half hour to reality check and on work days once every 15 mins which is alot but im on day 3 and keeping at it.....im guessing roughly about a month? Thanx

There's too many variables to give an estimate. How long it takes for the RCs to carry over depends on what dream signs you're focusing on, how well you recognize the dream sign upon it showing up, and how often these dream signs show up in your dreams. I've gotten out of the habit of RCing during my dream sign of a false awakening before. If I put my mind to RCing whenever I wake up, I could usually get back into the habit during a dream within the next few false awakenings I have.

To add to what dolphin said - another use for RCs is the habit of just being aware of abnormalities. For me actually RCs leak very little into the dream but just being more aware leaks faster - so I'm more likely to DILD even before doing the RC. In dream I usually RC just to stabilize or something - not to actually "make the leap" of awareness...
