I hope I don't get this wrong, but basically it involves training a constant awareness of gravity's effect on you. Constantly noting that feeling of gravity with the idea that distorted gravity is one of the most common dream signs...especially floating, flying, being able to lift things easily (or not as easily as normal), running like the wind or having a hard time running anywhere as if held back by very heavy gravity, REM atonia, etc... If properly trained, you could possibly notice the dream sign as soon as you enter the dream.

^^ That is a clever RC, and it avoids the waking-life RC side-effect of looking a little silly when you're practicing it.

Again, though, it must be done without letting it get too intellectually complicated... like just feel the pressure of your own weight on your heels as the test, without thinking about why that pressure exists. That way, in the dream, with your memory still switched off, you don't have that "why" presented in the most reasonable of terms by your dreaming mind. Better to simply not feel that pressure on your heels, which is extremely likely, and realize you're dreaming. Clever!
