First, let me say "Welcome to Dream Views"!

As for remembering reality checks, notes only work when you see them (i.e., they aren't everywhere). I once used a red pen and made a small dot on the back of my hand which I used to remind me.

Does this mean I have bad recall, or is this normal?
Everyone's recall is different.. I don't feel there is a "normal". I may have one or many dreams depending on how long I sleep (the longer I have to sleep.. the more different dreams I have).

Some feel that you must recall at least two to three dreams a night to have "good" recall. I believe that remembering well one dream a night is preferable than remembering mere snippets of many dreams.

I hope this helps!
