Thanks Xanth. I used to keep a dream diary but gave up the habit a couple years back. I suppose I should pick it back up
I think I will also acquire a watch I can set an hourly alert on and use that to remind me to do the reality checks so they become a habit. It's kind of hard to keep enthusiasm up because I've been trying to AP for so long, about 6 years on and off, but I'm not giving up. It's kind of my driving passion. Does anyone know about the helping technique I mentioned in my first post though? I have a couple relatively psychic friends but don't know anybody who APs regularly so I haven't been able to try it. I usually just wake up out of excitement but I think after I do it enough to get used to it that will stop being a problem.
