Thread: RC as a DREAM

Hello,
I wouldn't get too worked up about this fact. I have had many dreams where this has happened to me before. I have even went so far as to tell my self that I was dreaming, but I still did not take control and become lucid; I just let the dream continue to flow how it wanted.

To boil it all down it happens to all of us so I would not get to worked up over it very much.

Haha, that's happened to me many times. A big dream sign for me is clocks changing at fast speeds, which has always gotten me lucid except for one time. Which was a dream where I looked at a clock and saw it changing rapidly and thought "well, thats weird..." and didn't become lucid.

Yeah, this happened to me last night. Which is the first time anything like that's happened so I guess I'm getting closer to lucidity. I dreamed I did a nose RC and I could breathe through my nose so I was super surprised and then I was thinking finally, so this is what it's like to be lucid but I still couldn't control my actions. The really weird thing is how distorted everything became as soon as I realized I was dreaming and I looked down at my hand. I mean it was really badly distorted and I was just walking around this big, dark house. It was a really boring dream though. Damn FLD!!!

I did a freakin reality check and didnt even realize it!?!?! It should have triggered LUCID right?

Can you tell me how you implement you checks during the day? It happened to me before but I think it has nothing to do with your subconcious wanting to be lucid but has to do with the way you implement your checks. For example if you do randome reality checks during the day, most likely it will appear in the dream eventually but may or may not include lucidity. For me the best way to implement checks is to link it with an event that has to do with lucid dreaming. Like many people have been saying that lights in dreams are always faulty so I can link the check with the fact that lights are faulty in dreams and I always become lucid.
