Thread: Gravity RC and recall

Been practising this for 50 days so far...still i haven't checked my gravity in a dream...How much do you think it might take for it to transfer to my dreams?

I just feel gravity and I try to tell myself that when it feels weird, I know I'm dreaming.

How is it supposed to work?

It is an excersice of self awareness. You don't tell yourself anything actually, mostly it is an excersice in which you learn about yourseld and your world. So to speak, one becomes a huge RC in which you learn to "understand" what your real world is like and to "know" which one is and isn't that real world, ie. becoming lucid during unreal worlds such as a dream.

Had a dream last night where I was running but it felt like I wasn't, I was getting closer to my destination but at the same time it felt as if I wasn't even moving.

Hmm, was it due to weird scene skips or just weight?

wanted to report back. i am still on it! now for about 6 weeks. here and there i might have miss a day or two but overall i am on it.

the way i do it now: keep track of gravity in arms for most of the time. i try to notice the different weight of different things in my hands. when i have nothing in my hands i may switch to be aware of my weight when i am sitting or when i am moving i notice the weight of my body on my feet.

nevertheless i still sometimes do some regular RC. like counting my fingers or beeing aware of a digital time more often to see if it changes.
-> did you do this too? or would you recommend to FULLy concentrate on gravity itself without backing it up by an ordinary RC?

i also often (not always) say in my head (a mantra if you like?): i feel my weight/i feel the weight of my arms (or whatever part). i notice that i am dreaming.
->sometimes i feel that it focuses my concentration for some time. sometimes i think i am more focused on the mantra itsell and my breath that i am less aware of the gravity itself...

did you have an inner monologue while practicing? or do you "shut up" and just go with you inner eye and awareness to the bodypart?

lets say my recall is not that good at all at the moment. in theory: do you think even with not that good recall but still good awareness during day and intention setting -> will there be progress and therefore lucids which you are more likely to remember. so even with bad recall would my lucidity rate go up with time nevertheless?


like i see it my commitment to this technique is unbroken. i am lacking for some proper DJing and recall and more awareness of the micro awakenings... i still kind of notice them but fall instananiosuly unconcious and asleep. i need to notice them enough or intent enough to prolong them for atleast some minutes to recall properly and set awareness to gravity before falling asleep again...
and that i found energy draining for me... but i really want to make some proper progress with ld again!

Answered through PM, but feel like its important to post it here.

Gravity RC is an excersice on awareness, so just as mantras would work on making oneself more aware, it will on gravity. One is supposed to grow understanding and knowledge of their own world by making the best possible use of each technique, in this case the constant checking of gravity and as such, coming to understand the difference between both worlds and getting lucid not only in the dream world, but also in the waking one.

It only happens occasionally because I haven't been disciplined with my awareness or dream journaling but It shouldn't take long to get back at it.

Your technique even saved me from a night terror one time, something that hardly ever happens to me. I woke up and saw a ghost girl staring right at me completely transparent. It was completely convincing and completely terrifying but because I could tell something was just a bit to floaty about my body I knew it wasn't real and didn't freak the heck out. Instead I got to marvel at the hallucination as she faded away. If I had to plug my nose before I knew it was fake I would have definitely shit my pants!

Anyways, back when I was more active, I did notice an increase in my dream recall after I got good at gravity RC. I also got better awareness while sleeping but not dreaming which makes it easier to transition into a lucid dream!

I've been inactive for a few months, damn work lol
But thank you for the report and am glad it helps you in your lucidity path!

50 days! Have you noticed anything strange at all?
