Look! Another Newbie thread!

Thanks for the heads-up about lying still. I'm usually grabbing for my journal and pen before I remember that I'm supposed to try to recollect the dreamscene instead of just going on what I remember at the moment of waking. I have one question regarding reality checks: I've heard 2 pieces of advice about utilizing reality checks during waking life: 1. You should perform reality checks as much as possible throughout the day. *OR* 2. You should only perform reality checks when you see or come into contact with one of your recurring dreamsigns. Does one of these yield better results than the other? Right now I usually only perform reality checks when I see a dreamsign in waking life, or when I wake up after sleeping. Should I change this?

Both, do them at random times throughout the day, but always do them around recurring dream signs.

Ah, ok. Thanks very much. I'll start doing these more often, then.
