From what you wrote down, you're only trying to achieve DILDs before and after you're sleeping. Keep in mind, the dreams you're trying to catch are occurring while you're sleeping, not before or after. |

I have been practising for achieving DILDs for the past 17 days...No lucid dreams yet.I am a beginner.I have been keeping a dream journal trying to remember my dreams and i have been doing RCs daily every 20-30 minutes.Is there anything else i should do to help me achieve DILDs? |

You propably misunderstood me.sorry about that.What i mean is that i have read in this forum that in order for DILD to occur you need to do RCs in waking life and have a dream recall.From what i understand the RCs is a technique used to tell you that you are dreaming while you are dreaming.In order for it to work you are supposed to use it in waking life so that it transfer to your dreams.What i want to know if there is anything more that i can do in my waking life that will help me achieve lucidity while dreaming.For example you said that i have to pay attention while i am sleeping/dreaming.How can i achieve this.? |

The purpose of the reality check itself is to check whether you're dreaming or not. You don't need to check if you're dreaming during the day in order to become lucid. |

I am sure about illusion. I am not so sure about reality.
I just woke from a lucid, in it I was on a bus and a wheel chair was getting on I looked to the other side and thought it could go there, then another wheel chair tried to get on, I went to fold up the chairs, but they had become like chairs just sitting on the floor with 4 legs so I stacked them, but they wouldn't stow away so then they folded up too. Next I moved to the back of the bus (I had noticed someone from work get on the bus) there were very few people on the bus, but now it was full, I moved to the back but the only seat left was too small for me. So I grabbed hold of the bars and stood there. |

Sure LUCID DREAMS are all fun and games until someone loses a third eye.
Here is how i reality check.What i do is ask myself throughout the day ''Am i dreaming?'' After the question i take a look at my suroundings to check if everything is how it is supposed to be.I use my senses to feel the things around me.After that i ask myself. ''Where am i''? ''How much time have i been here?'' ''Why am i here?'' ''Where was i before i come here''.I answer those questions and then perform my reality checks.First i examine my hands.Second RC i do is to try to push my fingers through my pals and after this RC i plug my nose to check if i can breathe.I conclude that i am not dreaming.And after that i say ''Next time i am dreaming i am gonna look at my hands and realize that i am dreaming'' sort of a mantra thing i guess?What do you think guys? Is this a "quality" reality check?Have been doin g this for 20+ days and no lucid dreams yet. |

Yes some people ask the opposite question 'Why am I not dreaming' |

Learn how to identify the "dream feel." You probably have the sense that your dreams feel different from waking life, even if you can't exactly put into words how they do. If you can recognize this "dream feel" as it is occurring, you will become lucid. Dream signs are also similar to the "dream feel," and the two frequently overlap. Look back over your dream journal entries for things that occur frequently (dream signs) or structural and stylistic elements that are different from what you experience in waking life ("dream feel"). Looking for those things, and telling yourself you will recognize them in dreams, will help you become lucid. |
