Thread: Pinching yourself for awareness. My sole awareness technique.

Pinching myself has been my sole awareness technique since i was little.

It's simple, and you don't have to walk around with any visible marks on your body (Unless you pinch too hard, of course )

Whenever something happens, scary, exciting, awesome, anything that doesn't happen often or on a usual day, pinch yourself. The basic idea is simple, this follows you into dreams and you pinch yourself in a dream, and feel the numbed pinch and realize your dreaming.

It's actually a bit more difficult than that, but it eventually becomes completely passive.

I VERY rarely pinch myself anymore, but still in nearly every dream, i always remember to pinch myself. I don't know why i pinch myself in dreams still when i don't in real life, but it works.

I also re-pinch myself to stabilize my dream if it's JUST starting to fall apart, and if i'm about to do anything i'd heavily regret in real life, just as a double check.

That's pretty much it, i don't know how to describe it any better, i've been doing it my entire life. If anyone wants to know more or has questions, go ahead and ask, i'll answer as best i can
