Thread: Hello!

Welcome to DV!

You should do whatever seems to work for you. If you think that saying it aloud is more effective, then you should do so. Different techniques for for different people.

Ok thanks man!

I never ask whether or not I'm dreaming. I do a memory reality check. I try and think back and remember how I got to where I am and what I had done previously. If I can't then I'm dreaming.

I never do RC out loud. I try to do them everywhere, on the bus, at work, so I think saying them out loud would be a little strange for people. But I think if you really concentrate on what you're saying you should be ok. And maybe you can switch to saying it out loud when you're at home or something.

To Dream Views detail!

I personally do them in my head, so people don't think I am crazy.

When I'm alone at home I'll do them out loud though.

Hi and welcome.

I'd say be on the safe side and do the check in your mind. It'll save you from looking like you're nuts.

On the other hand, if you don't care go ahead and ask out loud if you're dreaming. Or do one of the physical reality checks. Sometimes I'll do one right in public for the WTF factor.

Thanks for the great advice guys. I appreciate it.

I can't say the same for the walking-through-walls reality check - that makes you look stupid.

Hey, I've done that one

I vote that when any newbie asks about RCs, we tell them that trying to walk through a wall is a 100% guaranteed techique!
