I've been doing RC's the last few days every time I am reminded to do one. I check my hands, write something and look away and back at the writing to see if it's changed, and I check gravity by throwing and catching stuff. When I'm done I tell myself "I am probably not dreaming right now but I don't know for sure and I will stay alert because I still might be dreaming."

I don't even know it this helps with inducing lucidity, but I like to do that because it helps keep a sense of wonder and scepticism. It makes me think just a little extra about the things I see. For example when I am chewing gum, why does it stick a little to my teeth for a fraction of a second and not more. Why does it not fall apart and leave a big sticky mess in my mouth? How the hell is a piece of plastic made? How can a clock work so nearly perfectly? It makes RCing more fun and perhaps that way it helps to become lucid more often.

I am still remembering an average of 2-3 small and fuzzy dreams a night and I am not really getting lucid. I'm also writing most of it in my journal. Maybe this new effort will get me lucid.
