Thanks for the help Joanna! After reading more about DILD, i would just like to clarify with you something. So let me get this straight, in order to do the DILD method which is recommended for beginners, one has to start using reality checks throughout the day constantly so that once your asleep eventually your mind will remember these reality checks and you will eventually perform these checks while your asleep which will lead to a lucid dream?

Correct me if im wrong but thats how i understood it? So once you keep doing these checks eventually you can know that your dreaming by distinguishing odd things happening while doing the RCs in your dream like extra fingers on your hands?
