I have had an rc fail in a dream and the back up did help. I'm not sure if you read my dream journal, but I had some lucid dreams today and they weren't from a nap which surprised me. I did still feel tired after waking up but I felt motivated to do stuff, I suppose that was my way of distracting myself from feeling tired. I do remember that last night I went to sleep fast because I was really tired for some reason. I didn't get enough time to focus on SSILD last night so tonight I will. I'm very pleased with my lucidity today, even though it still turned a bit nightmarish. Chased by a familiar madman that I believe I encountered in on of my starting out lucid dreams some time back. Anyway, I will try for more reality checks tomorrow because I did so much today I just forgot about them. Thank you for your positive thoughts, I think it is better that I'm atleast doing the reality checks a day. Even if they aren't so many, they don't have to be that many anyway. The number isn't what matters, it's what it makes you think about that does.
