I started keeping my dream journal last night. I woke up around 4 after a dream, I found it really hard to open my eyes to start writing, then when I did the pen I had ran out! I opened my bedside drawer to find another on, and it was much emptier than I expected. This realisation woke me up. My first expierience witha False Awkening. Interesting.

I have some questions about reality checks.
Is it good to use a wide range of Checks, or just stick with two or three? My thinking is two or three are easier to get used to, but a wide range may be good for situations where some are not suitable? (For example holding your nose ina busy resturant!)
I have downloaded an App for my phone (Sleep Check Reminder). Whats the general feeling towards these? I'm worried, if I grow to rely on it to remind me to check it won't remind me in a dream. Is it a good idea (this is my plan) to dial it up to a high number of reminders for a while, then gradually decrease the number until the habit is formed?
