Thread: Wow! This is weird.....

I just did something really weird last night....

Before I fell asleep in bed I said just once in my head that I would look around, and if my dream seemed "too good to be true" I would check it out. Then I had a nearly lucid.... I'll give the details later on.

Here is what you need to do:

1) NOT master RC's but if you have them mastered that’s good to. The reason I say that you don't have to master RC's, or even practice them much during the day is because, you will only be using them in real life if something seems "too good to be true" (you can also use it for "too bad to be true").

2) Before going to sleep, but when your really drowsy, say this once to yourself, but don't really care much about it (and say it in your head):

I will look around, and if my dream seems "too good to be true" I will check it out.

3) while in your dream, look around and if something seems "too good to be true", like you have the woman or man of your dreams, do a reality check. I find the nose-plugging and see though your eyelid techniques the best ones.... But then again they didn't work for me last night.

This is what happened to me:

When I finally got to sleep, I was in a dream, it was a nice sunny day, and I think I was with my friend (A girl. but I don't like her as a girlfriend, we are just friends). I think the reason this worked is because I want to go over to her house really bad, so I thought it my be "too good to be true", and because I thought this, I stopped walking and tried sticking my tounge through the roof of my mouth, it didn't work...So, I tried seeing through my eyelids, I though it worked for a second, but then I thought "No, it didn't work"......So, I tried the nose plug thing, and this was easily the best. I plugged my nose and tried breathing... I wasn't able to breathe, and then I was, and then I wasn't... So I thought (Now this is the screwed up part) that if I was asleep, I would be able to see through my eyelids of my awake body (this was cool), So I tried opening my eyes to see through my real body, and I saw the gray/black darkness on then back of my eyelids. I didn't want to wake up, so I when back to the dream world....and I can't remember what happened after that. The thing that didn't work were the reality checks.

If anyone has any comments please tell me.

Also if anyone has any suggestions to improve this strange technique, or and better RC's, please share them.

Good luck if your trying the technique! Also, tell me the results!
