Good advice there, I can think of several occasions when I did a reality check thinking "Yeah, I'm sure I don't need to do this, but I will anyway" the way one usually does when awake, only to realize I was dreaming. Even though you can tell the difference (without a reality check) when you're awake, you can't when you're asleep, and the only way to be prepared is to practice an unsure mindset while awake.

As far as the dream journaling goes, itseems to me that when your recall is still poor, your gains are from straining to remember as much of the dream as you can, rather than how much you write. So even if it seems you are writing little or nothing, keep at it, ad the excersise of just trying to remember will help.

And as for your English, it is very understandable. If you had't said anything, I would have a hard time telling that English wasn't your first language.
