Thread: FUN RC's - Making Reality Checks a Fun Activity

Thanks fogelbise! Good ideas and some things I never knew before

This idea may be a little controversial, but it seems to be rather effective when I try it. If you are anyone that already has real challenges with discerning what reality you are in, then this is not something for you without a doctor's supervision.

It pairs with certain RC's and goes well with these two ideas from above:

1. If you've ever had a DILD where you were dumbfounded (or at least close to dumbfounded) to realize that everything you experienced before you became lucid was all a dream, then I recommend to recall that dream vividly when you do at least some of your RCs. It may be that it seemed so mundane and/or life-like before you realized you were dreaming that you were very surprised to realize that you were dreaming. A vivid memory of such a dream can really cause you to realize that any moment could be a dream. Such dreams can help you to not assume that you are awake when doing RCs. Such assumptions result in a half-hearted RCs.
2. Have you ever stopped and thought about a moment from earlier in the day and how it is not super vivid? These moments are often very dreamlike when looking back on them. When you really settle into that realization - that every moment passes - very much like dreams - it makes it easier to question your surroundings when doing an RC. This mindset/practice is part of dream yoga. An example of how I do it sometimes: "What was I doing moments earlier? That memory does seem a little dreamlike...I should do an RC!"

Spoiler for the controversial idea:

The idea is to get to a slight level of unease, or of being uncomfortable or slightly worried along the lines of "am I really sure I am not dreaming right now - let me do several RC's!"

You can follow it with "The next time I am dreaming I will RC (do an RC or two as you get to this part of saying this to yourself) and realize I am dreaming."
