      is this also a way to WILD for you? on what bodypart do you focus there? so far most of the time i focus on both of my underarms. do you think its enough to for example just focus on one arm?
      Well, I have no routine at all, my routine consists of checking gravity all day long. It isn't a matter of how much I'm focusing on it anymore but rather, it has now become second nature and will check on it naturally, so to speak whenever I'm in any shape or form, aware.

      Sure thing, I practice this RC all day long. While eating, typing, studying, reading, kissing, and what not.

      What do you focus on, though?

      What seems to be tripping me up is knowing what to focus on.

      Do I keep my focus on one body part all day long?
      Do I switch it depending on the activity that I'm doing at the moment?
      If you do keep changing your focus, how do you constantly remember to change the focus of where you're feeling gravity if you find yourself being called to do various acrivities that you weren't mentally preparing yourself for?
      If you were to wake up right now, what would you write in your Dream Journal?

      I've been working on the Gravity RC for over two weeks now, and have noticed the theme coming up more frequently in my non-lucids.
      First, levitation and flying has become a more prominent part of my dreams, often leading to a pre-lucid state, or a dream with control.
      At this point though, I'm not becoming lucid from gravity itself. I'll often think about about the gravity RC in dreams and actually thoughts along the lines of: "when will I begin to notice gravity in dreams?' or 'when will I start having lucids from gravity?'. In these cases, the actually feel of gravity doesn't appear (at least in memory). I feel the levitation/flying though.
      Basically, my questions is: as I'm experiencing the gravity theme as well as levitation/flying occurring very frequently at this point, when could I expect the general gravity feel I'm working on throughout the day to begin appearing?
      [I'm going to work a bit on matras/prospective mem to get lucid from levitation etc.] Thanks for all responses!

      It takes time for your IRL awareness to carry over into your dreams. You're training the mind to become used to something that it's not but with persistent practice you will start to see changes. To give a specific answer is sort of out there since everyone differs when it comes to dreaming.

      Hi folks !

      I've scrolled down again this thread and Azul's thread of Gravity RC, and i have to confess that, interestingly, i feel more intimate now with their take on this "non-technique" as Hukif called it. Like when you understand something in a slightly different way and find something new each time you reflect on it.

      I won´t bother you with my newfound understanding and appreciation, but i feel it is important to stress that this practice can be done bypassing effortful analysis and reflection on reality. I think we already have a body-gravity awareness, only we are not usually aware of it as we are much of the time on our thoughts and not so much connected to our waking and dreaming bodies.
      Probably, as i have now understood, there's no need to think much about it, it is a kind of natural intelligence or sense organ that only need to be re-experienced again.

      Therefore, as i see it now it probably does not compete with other more reflective and rational RC's and daily activities, because it doesn´t involve thinking so much, does not use bandwidth so to speak. So yes, it makes perfect sense when Hukif replies to someone that it can be done while thinking and studying. There's no moment one can not be in touch with a natural sense of one's body. In fact, one should be ( no criticism intended ) much more lovingly aware of our direct sensorial, internal and external experiences.

      I now think of it more like a way of being and connecting to something that already is being experienced in our bodies, much like temperature and so on.

      Probably i am reframing it somewhat as a mindfulness exercise, which suits my personal style and preference ( as Hukif asked us to do), in the sense of staying with the experience and not being too much concerned about evaluating it ( am i doing it right or not ? will this work tonight ? is this gravity normal?) and goal oriented.

      We already have a natural feeling of normal and abnormal gravity. We just don´t have an habit of noticing it. But we always have some part of our bodies active, and so we can bring gentle awareness there.

      For my part, i am now returning to LD practice again and interested to integrate gravity RC with standard practices !!!

      Yo! To expand on what vagaltone said, something I forget to say is that gravity does not reflect as much in dreams as other RCs, but rather it does reflect in your waking world.
      Quoting myself due to lazyness:

      Well, the best example I have is the air vs water one
      We are right now in air
      And we know how it feels
      If you were walking and suddenly air was changed to water, you would instinctively know
      Cause its so much more different
      Dreams are like water and waking is the air
      But we don't know yet how either of feels
      And only pursue the feeling of water to get lucid
      So we can never know instantly where we are, because we lack the knowledge of one, basically of the air
      And that is where GRC kicks in, teaching you about air so you can detect whenever water happens

      huuuu-kif huuu-kif

      hukif is here

      So good to see you!

      I gotta say, that I have used the gravity RC and it got me lucid a few times. Although I was told that my method is a bit different than yours. Even so, here is to gravity RC

      I wish I had started doing this a decade ago instead of just starting recently. x.x;

      To everyone new to lucid dreaming, please please please trust me when I tell you that you want to start incorporating this into your life ASAP in addition to everything else you're doing.

      Ayy there.I have not been trying to lucid dream for the past year.I gave up after i practised the Gravity RC for 3 months but did not get any lucids from it.In fact i didnt even notice abnormal gravity back then.I had a fully lucid dream back then.My only lucid to be precise.Anyways i think i must try again with this gravity rc.Things are different now.Why?Because i now have experienced gravity changes randomly(i dont practise the gravity rc or any other rc and my recall is terrible at the moment).First i was in my hed trying to lift myself up but it was like there was a strong magnet underneath me pulling my limbs back as sooon as i lift them up.Second time i was running and there was the same feeling pulling me backwards.Third time i tried to punch someone and my hands were going in slow motion like they were heavier.How can i use these experiences now that i know how gravity feels like in a dream along with the gravity RC.

      Once you know what it feels like to be asleep or in a dream with the abnormal gravity, is when you give it a try to learn waking gravity. Basically from what you say, movement, and more specifically hand movement seems to be the issue in your case so I recommend checking your hands own weight and using that as your own GRC version.

      I've put hukif's rcs to the test and they really work when your mind is on it. Even something like flexing my hand in a dream feels different and has made me lucid a couple times. Sucks my recall is crap right now. It is a lot of effort to work into your daily life, but when it works it REALLY works!!!

      Good to know it works for others as well.In the past i used for 3 months straight and i only had 1 lucid.My only lucid.IT wasnt gravity induced though.I didnt even check my gravity or feel any gravity related changes in my dreams.So for me they were 3 months of pute nothingness.But i checked my overall body gravity.Now i 've experienced abnormal gravities as mentioned above and i now know what to look for i guess.I think i will try to do what hukif says about focusing on my hands gravity alone.

      Honestly, it might take for some to actually experience gravity in dreams to sort of get an idea of what it's like. I practiced the traditional ADA prior to using Gravity RC so I had to retrain my mind in a certain way.

      With that being said, it wasn't until after I had a dream where gravity became quite apparent in it. It then made my waking RC skyrocket to the next level because I knew what to expect.

      It got even better once I fine tuned it to my liking, then after 3 days of consistency...BAM a lucid.

      Had a 10 second lucid today....it felt like i knew i was dreaming all along from the begining.I was actually thinking that i have dreamed of the exact same dream before and i somehow knew what was going to happen.Towards its end i started fighting a guy and this time my punches wasnt in slow motion like it was before so gravity i guess was normal.I said to myself why am i even fighting this guy since i know im dreaming i can just leave this place.I ran out and tried to make it daylight since it was nightime by snapping my fingers.I woke up.So i mention this dream to say that this time my gravity during punching was normal.
