Thread: reality checks? Really?

Your not 100% in your sub conscious.
If you train you brain to go "Ohh crap I'm in a dream" then wake up, it will do so.
Just like when your in a dream and then all of sudden you think "Wait a second I'm going to be late for school" then you immedietly wake up. You chose to wake up, we lucid dreamers take the "I'm going to be late for school" and transform it into "this is a dream". Then just like when your about to be awake for school your conscious wakes up and begins to party like it a lucid dream......wait it is a lucid dream.

so maybe reality checks need to make the sub get more logic (wakeing conscious up)
this would mean u dont just need to speak out the words or action of a reality checks , you need to actually start up your logic thinking and try hard to figure it out

i thought that to do a reality check you need to Allready be conscious so u can actually think it, because if the sub thinks the reality check it wont trigger anything
but jea maybe when we sleep we have like 90% sub actions but still 10% conscious, so if we make a reality check we need to increase the conciouseness

maybe the people who cant do lucid dreaming at all have very less percent of the conscious awake during night
how can they increase that percent?

The conscious is not going to ask the question, when the majority of control is done by the sub-conscious. But the conscious is the one who has to ask the question for the conscious to "trigger" as you say. Nice one alfalfa, i think you are onto something bigger here, there are probably better ways to activate conscious awareness in dreams and i am interested to read more from you.

My experience of being more consciously aware in a dream stems back to moments of intense fear, now this makes me wonder, does the subconscious which holds the fear, ring an alarm bell to the conscious so that it can be aware of the fear and take necessary rational precautions against it?

Lets face it guys, too much of our "selves" is made up of the unknown stuff, the uncontrolled stuff, and its this part which bothers me most. Naturally i want to be the one in control, but it just doesn't seem to be the case.

it would seem that when beeing "lucid" the sub conscious and the normal conscious have the same % awareness at same time because the sub makes actions like createing the dream
and the conscious does the usual stuff like spectateing or whatever u wanna do

do sub and conscious war each other? like takeing over , getting superior? lucid dreaming is maybe that they both in peace letting each other exist

maybe a theory could lead to:
ur at point zero thoughts, from that point the sub and the normal conscious expands simultaneously, like this they have both same awareness and war each other would bring them both down at same time, but then try to increase both more then they decrease and u get lucid out of stand? out of meditation?
i dont want to have to dream to get lucid, it would be cool if i could just start meditateing at any time and start this state of lucidity
