Thread: Activity as reality check?

Hi,

Well, the thing is that after writting this I had some doubts because as I was thinking about it, looked just like normal RCs or awareness recomendations I read around. But the thing is that I feel it different. I'm not sure how to explain it...

Of course when doing an RC you have to do it really questioning reality... but instead of doing random RCs when I remember it (which is hardly never), I though on using this scenario changes or "activity" moments as some kind of reminders, not just to do an RC (which maybe doesn't happen), but to simply "question reality", in hopes that this eventually goes into my dreams, basically because in dreams there's almost always something going on.

Even if I "know" I'm not dreaming, I honestly tell to my self "hey, I could be, stop your zombie mode right there", knowing that in my dreams I'm also in zombie mode and I also assume I'm awake. So I look around just a bit, my hands, or pinch my nose if I can, or if I'm driving I just think where I come from and what I did today. Maybe this will eventually go into the dream? I'm not sure.

In any case yesterday I managed to do it several times, but I also missed some. Today I did it 3-4 times for now... and it's 8.50am. Once when I woke up, second when entering the shower, third on the kitchen while having breakfast, and last one while I was entering the office some time ago. I missed the ones going on the garage, driving, after parking (waking dead )....

I hope to be able to put some kind of "trigger" without becoming insane

Tonight is time for dinner with some friends so I will put that as some kind of test. If I remember to "question reality" when I met them, while dinner, etc... I'll consider it passed.
