JacobCoy9, saying "Hello!"

[JacobCoy9]

Hey, all! Lurked for a while. Been trying on-and-off for a couple years, but never been able to really do it. My problem is that I can't make RCs a habit. Not sure what I can do to change that. So my question is this: How do YOU handle your reality checks? I've heard a lot of times that you do it every time you walk into a new room. I haven't been able to associate RCs with life, though. Like, the only time I think about doing it is when I'm about to go to sleep. I'm about to just set my phone alarm for every 30 minutes, but i feel that would get in the way of a lot of things. might be worth it though. anyway, i'm glad to be here! Looking forward to chatting with you all. -J

Welcome to DV! Actually, if you're having trouble remembering to RC, some sort of mechanical reminder is a good idea. Setting a phone alarm is a bit extreme, but it might indeed be worth the hassle. There are milder reminders, though, like wearing a rubber band on your wrist; I for one carry a small smooth rock in my pocket, and do an RC whenever I notice it. Another thing you could do is spread reminders around your house -- maybe just a piece of colorful paper in each room -- that you might notice and be reminded to RC. Good luck with your efforts, and I hope you enjoy your time here!

Hmm... good idea. Maybe I'll set just a simple one-vibration alarm. If I notice, I'll do it. If not - no big deal. The rubber band is a good idea. Maybe I'll just write something on my hand. That might be a good one. Thanks for the ideas!

Welcome to Dreamviews! Sageous has good advise. There is many ways you can remind yourself. Pretty soon it will become a habit and you will not need reminders. Happy dreams More about RCs in RC tutorial in this link: Induction Methods and Techniques Welcome
