Absolutely. The point of doing Reality Checks while awake is to get into the habit of doing it constantly; to the point where that habit is carried over into the dream world. Even though your asleep, you will catch yourself saying "Ooops, I gotta reality check!" and bam, you realize your dreaming.

Reality Check so much, that it just doesn't even become an issue to remember. Just get to the point where its a habit, like cracking your knuckles.

Yepps.

Read above.


A good idea, is to get a watch that chimes every hour. Then do a reality check.
Eventually, you will find yourself thinking about doing a reality check seconds before the chime occurs.
Its like waking up minutes before your alarm goes off.

to the original posted, your recall is awesome, that does not need to change. You are keeping a dream journal i suspect which is another plus.. It might be a good idea to go back through your dreams (if someone hasn't already stated this above) and look for reoccurring things that happen in your dream.. like a certain person is always in them, or you start off your dreams most of the time in the same place (your house)

It is good to have Dream signs so you know when to do reality checks.. honestly it sometimes can be easier said then done when it comes to doing reality checks inside your dream.. You are on the right track for someone who has just begun 4 months ago.. Just keep at it keep doing Reality Check's through out the day.. eventually when you do a RC you will actually realize you are dreaming, instead of being awake
