      connection between sleep and dream to induce more LDs

      In my recent lucid dreams I somehow noticed that the waking life and the dream life are much more closely related to each other than I previously thought.... well it sounds kind of obvious and I should have known it earlier, but somehow the more lucid dreams I have the more I notice how incredibly thin this border between dream and waking life is.

      So here is my thought/question: It sounds a little bit like a form of self-awareness and ADA. If you become more and more aware of this connection between the sleeping and the waking reality and that your dreams basically are the subconscious impression of your waking life just with the subtle difference that your focus is not on your physical body, then wouldn't it be easier to induce LDs?
      I have been practicing ADA and RRCs and SAT for a while now and the more I think about this close interaction and those tight connections between waking and dreaming life the easier it is to induce LDs. Last night for instance I noticed that my friend at who's villa I was doesn't even have a villa in real life... So I did my nose-plug RC (which somehow failed me for the very first time... I was unable to breathe after plugging my nose), but after this negative RC I somehow thought about the fact that I might still be sleeping because that's what I do about a third of my day and that dream and reality are linked together so closely and this thought gave me lucidity instantly. To be honest I don't exactly know why, but just thinking about the fact that I could be sleeping gave me lucidity.

      Any thoughts or similar experiences?

      to put it bluntly, yes.

      I always attain some kind of awareness that I am in dream like something telling me deep inside my head. Then I just make sure with RC.

      RCs don't work for me because when I first suspect I'm lucid that's enough to be sure and the RCs happen automatically just by observing typical dream events such as luminosity variation, bizarre things, quick changes and so on. Actually RCs usually disturb relaxation and the natural flow of the dream and usually wake me up.

      @Playlaughdream Yeah same with me. whenever I suspect that I might be dreaming I mostly already know for sure... I usually do something like checking my hands to be sure. Another proof that it's all about the awareness and not the RCs

      Thinking that you could be sleeping isn't a complex or original idea, it's what you should incorporate into your RCs from the very beginning! The wonder of the fact that this could very well be a dream raises your awareness to a level that you will be able to notice all the little things, even subconsciously, that point out it could be a dream and you move on from there.
