I try to do alot of RCs during the day, but i feel like iim not doing enough? when are good times i should do RCs?
the best time, is when you see something strange
Pick a time and stick to that time.
I do it whenever a period ( SCHOOL PERIODS) finishes and the bell rings. I also do it whenever I go to my locker, outside at recess, at the bus, in the shower and randomly when i remember.
At least, I try to do it at these times.
thanks gameoverlord345, i do dream about school quite a bit so those are good times.
I don't recommend focusing so heavily on things that might not occur in your dreams. Reality checking when the bell goes off isn't going to make you more aware. You will just lean to RC when you hear it. That is not going to help if you don't here a school bell in your dreams.
Focus on gaining over all awareness. Reality checks generate awareness and more reality checks means more awareness. If you work hard enough at it you can be super aware and have many DILDs. When I DILD the more t effort I put in with awareness and realty checks the more lucid dreams I have.
It is all about how much you put in to lucid dreaming. If I tried harder I would have a much higher LD count.
oops :S
It doesn't hurt to RC when the bell goes off just don't limit yourself to stuff like that. Remember why you are reality checking. Don't just go through the motions.Quote:

If you notice something thats consistent in your dreams RC in real life if you do it in real life. etc etc
When you are doing things on auto. I sometimes RC when I'm walking down street or at the store or at school.
Awareness, awareness, awareness, awareness, awareness.
All day awareness is all you need.
Instead of doing RCs at a certain time, or when something happens, just stay aware all day long. Instead of thinking ahead about what you need to be doing, or what's going on later, just absorb your environment, think about what's going on, does it make sence? Observe details, look for things that might clue you to be dreaming. Why am I here? Have I been here or done this before? Does the general idea of "now" make sence.
That's what will give you DIlDs
Like an all day reality check.
like many have said
its not about the reality check itself,
its about awareness.
ask yourself , how did i get here?
then see if you can think back to how you ended up where you are because dreams often start in the middle of nowhere, and then after that perform a reality check to confirm that its not a dream. thats what i do.
i think the best time to do a reality check is whenever you remember, because then you'll truly be questioning if its reality or dream
yep I do that now and occasionally some RC's with it. it's much easier than doing tons and tons of RCs!
When you see things out of the ordinary. Question your surroundings and take a look at everything like "How did i get here, am i dreaming etc"
I used to do mine at X:20 every high... 11:20 12:20 13:20 15:20, ect....
From wake till sleep.
I am going to start trying lucid dreaming again and i plan on doing mine everytime i walk in and out of the cleanroom where i work... as i have to degown out of my spacesuit.... it would be easy to do my check then...
