I don’t really use reality checks, they kind of use me.....
I like to become Lucid naturally rather than 'inducing' lucidity. Even though Lucidity is fun there is much more to dreaming and so many different layers to awareness.
I think everyone is a natural Lucid Dreamer even if you only have 1 lucid dream a month. I dislike all this division between natural and un-natural dreamer - we all dream but differently.
I don't really use RCs either -- except to verify that I'm really dreaming once I suspect that I am. But I never remember to do them unless I'm already at least partly lucid.
I experienced exactly the same when I started lucid dreaming. The only things I did was keeping dream journal and having the intention to experience a lucid dream. Anyway, when I started doing reality checks, 1 lucid dream per week or two changed into 2 lucid dreams per week or so.
It's up to you whether you want to start reality checking or not, but most propably it will make you dream lucid more often.
dude, i don't either. Why dont I? because they don't work for me. It could be the same for you. I use other methods. I'd say ditch the RC's and do other techniques. Possibly WILD, WBTB, MILD, and HILD if you believe in that stuff(all in the tutorials section). WBTB is THE easiest one and imo, the best. If you see that you're lucid dreams are declining then go back to RC's and see what happens thenQuote:
