Been very consistent with recording my dreams every night. I have a pretty solid routine down wherein I get in the right state of mind before going to bed, doing some progressive relaxation techniques accompanied by strong intentions to realize that I'm dreaming once I fall asleep. I feel I'm doing pretty well in this area and my dream journal entries are getting better. I'm remembering more specific details and recognizing occurrences where it would be a good opportunity to realize I'm dreaming. |

Have you tried wearing a rubber band or something on your wrist? That helped me a lot to remember to do reality checks because I'd often see it. And try to remember to RC when you're in the middle of something too. Don't think "i'll reality check after i finish this" because in dreams, you're usually doing something, so that's when you should RC. |

Rubber band sounds like a good idea...body awareness is a big part of reality checks...grounding, being centered...etc.. |

Thanks for the welcome! I've been wearing a rubberband constantly for about 10 days and it has been great as a reminder for reality checks. |

A brief update: I am still working on consistently and repeatedly exerting reality checks throughout the day, and normalizing my sleep schedule. |

Hey creo, no worries at all. It's nice to see such an optimistic attitude despite the burdens of waking life. Rest assured with that awesome attitude and mindset, you'll get awesome lucids as well in due time. We totally understand that waking life comes first, and your well-being is top-priority, so if you ever need anything anytime, we'll be here as always! |

Nice update. Very poetic, I think. Life can sometimes get hectic. We all understand taking a break and taking care of yourself and life in general first. Wish you the best. |
