Yes. The main poster sure is well written. He must be edjumacated. ;0)

One of the myriad techniques I use which seems to work well is (like stated above) saying:

"the next thing I do, the next place I see, the next person I talk to NOT in my bedroom is going to be a dream."

I say this over and over. And deeply ingrain it into my conscience. I also try the, "anything unusual that happens to me, I must question my state of awarness. Am I dreaming?" And it works well, because now in waking life, if you I see something strange, I do a reality check.
