Thread: What should you do if a dream seems completely realistic no matter what you do to test it?

Don't sweat it, it's progress As far as reality checks go, I have recently started trying to perform telekinesis when I'm in doubt. In waking life at least -- I haven't done it in a non-lucid since I started. My reasoning behind it was that I had done it in a couple of non-lucids and just accepted it so I was trying to train myself to recognize that as a dream sign.

So what I'm saying is try to find something abnormal that you just accept in a dream and run with it in waking life instead of the other way around, in your case if that's happening frequently I would keep close tabs on my memory of where I am, how I got there, etc if you aren't already. Hopefully that would train you to go deeper into that problem when it comes up and you can figure it out in your head inside the dream without the need for a physical reality check. Just my two cents.

Edit: I think this came off a little different than I meant, I'm really tired and confusing myself. I know you didn't "accept" it and you tried RCs because of that feeling, but my thought is that if you put your energy into WHY you can't remember or trying harder to remember, instead of physical RC then maybe it would click in your head even though the dream is fighting with you about it on the physical level. I've become lucid a few times because of that sort of thought process, mental RCs are great to get the awareness going.
