Thread: How can I remind myself to do a reality check?

I always forget about lucid dreaming and reality checks during the day. The only time I consistently remember is right before I go to sleep. What are some good ways to remind myself to RC throughout the day?

I haven't been doing this very long, but I have set my phone alarm to go off at seemingly random moments during the day. When it happens, I perform several quick reality checks (trying to push my hands through each other, glancing at clocks, etc.). In addition, I imagine automatic things like computer screensavers could be of use, as they are a common dream sign but serve as a reminder when you're awake.

something that i have been doing the really works is associate somthing you see on a regular basis with a RC like for me whenever i see a light switch i flip it the other direction to see its effect (either on or off) and then back the other direction..the trick is to make it a habit so that you do the habit in your dream and get a different result.

I do the same thing. I put an alert on my phone (vibrate usually so it's not annoying when I'm out). It's definitely a good way to remember to do your checks.

I also used to have problems remembering doing RC.But no I use a technique and remember doing RC several times a day easily.You have to write "RC" on your left hand with a pen.Make sure you draw this deeply so that it doesn't fade away easily.The trick is whenever you see "RC" written on your hand you will easily remember doing it.It's a great technique and works very well for me.Hope this will solve your RC problem.Good luck!
