EARC's (An easier way to attain lucidity)

**SOBB** · 06-23-2005 01:24 PM

This is all about reality checks that are already done. You've been doing them your whole life. By using the reality checks which you have done you whole life, you greatly increase your chance of having a lucid.

This is my Theory:

Your walking in a hallway, you know that your foot is not going to fall through the floor. All you have to do to create a reality check from this is to be aware that it may fall through the floor. After you've done the check, go about your normal business, and don't even think about it. Do this or one of the following EARC's a few times each day (every DIFFERENT time you remember about them):

1) When you sit at your chair at school, you don't fall through it.
2) When you lean against a wall, you don't fall through it.
3) Since people are always observing their environment, always be aware of objects changing shape, as they often do in dreams.
4) Use any other frequently occurring daily experience as a EARC.

How it works:

Since the reality check is made from something you normally "already" do, but is just adapted to become a reality check, your brain can better adapt to it than something totally new. I mean, how often does someone try to stick their finger through their hand, see through their eyelids, or stick their toung through the roof of their mouth? Barely ever, if ever in the natural life. So that’s how it works. You use frequent normal experiences, such as walking (which you have done most of you life) to adapt to become a reality check. The brain gets used to it much more easily since it's such a small change, and since it's actually doing something, like getting you somewhere, or opening a door to a new room, it is much more likely to be used in a dream.

Try using this technique, and tell me what you think

That's an interesting spin on reality checks and I can see how that would work. What kind of success rates have you had using this method?

*seeker reaches for his coffee mug and reality checks that his hand does not go through it*

**SOBB** · 06-23-2005 02:14 PM

Oh, nothing yet, but I'm just starting today. I'll try to remember to post my progress.

**Clairity** · 06-23-2005 05:13 PM

Please do.. I'm going to start trying your method today. (Nope my fingers didn\'t go through the keyboard!)

**SOBB** · 06-23-2005 05:27 PM

I'm not going to be able to post results for a while, cause right now I'm trying hogarts technique, and I realised that doing the two techniques at once will mess up the results... But I will post sometime..... Will you post your results in the meantime Clairity?

**Alcarinquë** · 06-23-2005 07:48 PM

So you are saying that if you start doing something in real life, then you will do it in your dreams? Like, I always worry about getting into trouble. I worried about getting into trouble in my dream last night. So if I start doing reality checks in real life, I might do them in dreams automatically?

**SOBB** · 06-23-2005 09:41 PM

Exactly Alcarinquë! Exactly! Also, pick out the things you do most like opening doors, and in your case, worring about getting in trouble. Try it out, and tell me if it works for you.

Interesting *tries to turn on the TV with his mind*

**Carpath** · 06-23-2005 11:23 PM

VERY NICE! I'm starting to use these RC's only, (well, if I have any success

) sounds very promising. Why haven't anyone else noticed this before?

**SOBB** · 06-24-2005 12:42 AM

Sometimes the obvious is missed, thought the complex is worked out

. I think that soundd cool. Anyway, please post your results guys, and gals.

If I have any success believe me I'll let ya know!! I just have to remember to do the checks!

**SOBB** · 06-24-2005 11:42 AM

I can't wait to see the results for this one......

**Alcarinquë** · 06-24-2005 07:54 PM

But what if you get used to your finger not going through your hand, then in your dreams your finger doesn't either?

**SOBB** · 06-24-2005 09:06 PM

It usually doesn't happen like that....

**SOBB** · 06-25-2005 05:51 PM

So....Any results yet?

**SOBB** · 06-26-2005 12:50 AM

Does anyone have any result yet? I don't want to have to clog up this forum saying this again, and again

. Jk, but seriously, any results

?

**Clairity** · 06-26-2005 02:31 AM

SOBB, considering I just read about this method last Thurs., it's going to take me a little more time to see any results.

I promise if I have any success I will joyously post (believe me.. you won't have to ask)!

An interesting theory yet I think it's success rate is kinda low. Think about it: how many times did you unintentionally fall through a chair in a dream? Went through a floor? Such things rarely if at all happen in dreams.

Now think about it this way: you are in a dream and have a split second flicker of awareness. Your lucidity depends on it. Would you rather do an "old skool" RC like reading / digital clock / watch or try to feel if your foot goes through a floor tile?

**SOBB** · 06-26-2005 02:52 PM

Ev, I think your right.... Tell you what, I say this method sucks

. Unless someone can get it to work, it sucks. Lets all invent a new method together! Want to?

**TheUnknown** · 06-27-2005 05:36 AM

Walking through walls was one of the later abilities I learned when I was a natural. I doubt this method will work for the people who have not really LD'ed much before.
