I would like to know everyones thoughts on the best reality checks. I have one that works very well for me. I ask other dream characters if I am dreaming. No matter what their answer is it gets me thinking about whether I am dreaming or not. Once it get thinking about it I will try to do something to make sure. I just heard about this finger through the palm test. I think that will be my new second stage test. I think the best way to remove fear is to keep going further and further with the tests, removing more and more fear until there is none and you are totally lucid. |

"There are two types of people in this world, people who think there are two types of people, and people who don't."
If I think I'm dreaming but I'm not really sure, I'll try to fly. Now that I think about it, that isn't that smart if I thought I was dreaming in real life.... |

:]
It depends on your skill level, really |

Don't think about those damn kangaroos.

Digital clocks and reading letters on t-shirts always works best for me. I've made it a habit in waking life to always double check a clock when I want to know what time it is so I'll usually notice the fucked up numbers in the dream world. I've also looked at my hands and have become lucid, but only did that once, but for a friend of mine he uses the hand technique all the time to become lucid. |

"You will cease to exist!!"
*GASP* "But existing is all I practically do!!!"
The two I use more are holding my nose and trying to breathe and since I don't have a digital watch (and if there's no digital clocks around me) I usually try and examine my clothes. I read somewhere that you never wear your actual clothes in dreams and from almost every single one of my dreams that I can remember, this seems to be true. |
|
I was just thinking... it seems we all know some good reality checks, but when's the best time to use them? When something dream-like happens? |
|
I do RCs when I go from inside to outside, and vice versa. This works all right for me, but I stopped because I could never remember to do it every time I entered or left the house |
|
The best thing to do, for the non-yogi's |

All this is just so much easier said than done! I know, I know, practice!. But I simply cannot even get myself to think of the idea of a dream when I'm dreaming (let alone CHECK for one)! It's like the concept of dreaming doesn't exist in dreamland! |
|
the only reality check that works for me is about MEMORY. If i cant remember where I am, where I from, Where I'm going to... (like a lost person, i guess |

I think that the most reliable for me are... counting your fingers, holding your nose, and just looking down at your clothes. |
|
holding my nose seems to work better for me I tend to do it instinctively |
|
For me, the finger in the palm is the one I usually remember to do, probably because it's so bizarre to see my skin protruding from the back of my hand like it was made of rubber! |
|
Looking at how many fingers I have has been pretty successful for me. Once, I was sure I was awake, but just wanted to get in the habit of doing that reality check so I looked down at my fingers. I had fleshy lobster claw fingers. Basically a lobster claw on each hand, two fingers per hand. It made me laugh, and I got a lucid dream out of the deal. |

C'mon guys. Please check the date of the last post? We have a bunch of fresh RC threads, or start your new tread. This is a 9 year necro. |
|
Pinch my nose and try breathing, coupled with another RC, like fingers through palm for example |
|
Sorry, I didn't look at the date on this one. I was going to start a new thread, but this one seemed to be right on. Next time I'll just start a new one. |

Reality checks are suppose to work when your awake. I think it would be weird to go around asking random people if you're dreaming. Seriously don't do that, or totally do it but get it on camera. My favorite is to look at my hands, its the easiest and never fails, for some reason dream hands are always weird in various ways. |
