Hello everyone,

I have several questions about reality check induced lucid dreams (DILDS) and would greatly appreciate any advice/comments.

1) I am using an LD induction method where I do reality checks every hour throughout the day (8:00 am, 9:00 am, etc...until I go to bed). I have a very good body clock (for example, if I wake up to an alarm at 6:30 am for several days I will naturally begin to wake up right before my alarm goes off) and after several days of this RC practice, I naturally remember to do RCs every hour. My hope is that my body gets in this habit of doing RCs and this carries over into the dream state.

My question is, am I just making something up or has this been done before? Will it work? I have been doing this simple technique and keeping a dream journal and have had 4 lucids in 19 days.

2) Has anyone had long term success with a technique like this? It seems easy enough, and while one might think 1 reality check an hour seems a lot (~16 times a day), each check requires only seconds of effort. If this technique works longterm, it seems a minimal amount of effort for a large reward.

Just hoped to hear someones thoughts, thanks.
