Anyway, as I was on my way home I saw a fully grown man run out of a house and towards some bushes at the front of his garden. When he reached them he playfully leaped in the air and jumped over them like a child. He then ran two doors down and did the same thing and jumped over a small wall into another garden. He then entered the house and shut the door. I was quite amused and looked around to see if anyone else saw that but then I noticed I was completely alone on a normally busy street? It was only then I thought to do a reality check. It wasn’t a dream but I’m still a bit puzzled by the mans strange behaviour.
      My first thought was that reminded this movie. :

      it's a cheesy 80's movie, it's sort of like Teen Wolf in a way?


      I just received a call from someone I wasn't expecting. It was great news!! Of course, I did an RC before I got caught up in the moment. Seriously, pinch me! The way I feel right now? It's hard to explain. It's very big news.

      So, out for my run today, a great white egret walks right up out of someone's driveway and gets within a few feet of me. That bird was not afraid! Synchronicity? Hell, yes. Now, time to go live life fearlessly.

      Oh yeah, and I forgot. My dad made me a delicious dinner of golden curry. I didn't even tell him about my dream last night.

      So I hope this belongs in this thread
      Today is my second time doing an RC by asking a random person or I guess when #3 appears; if this is a dream...

      -The first time was at the trail, as I was driving my e-bike I passed 3 people on a bench, I said hey! they said hi. I kept riding, but I had the feeling and urge to go back after I lost sight of them. I go back and there they are, 2 young guys and a girl, sitting at the bench. I say hello again and the girls greets me: "hello, how are you" -me:"fine thanks, I just want to make sure this is not a dream, because #3 appears a lot in my dreams and I'm doing a RC", I started talking about I've got back into LDing. The girl knows about it!, she says: "be careful, it's dangerous".-me: " I think you just have to program yourself, almost like a computer, in our case we program our subconscious mind". she says right..they guys I think where rolling some joint. I don't think they treasure me if is a dream or not..I say bye and go to that rock...
      Spoiler for sideways rock pic.:


      - Today, at Target, as I'm at the register, I have that feeling again...I approached the cashier, a lady I greet her and then I look up automatically #3! without even knowing ...there ya' go! -me: "I just wanted to know if this is register 3", she takes a look and treasures me "yes, it is". -me: " well #3 appears a lot in my dreams", to make it short; I asked her about lucid dreaming and she has no idea, I explain as she scans my grocery...

      Oh, my mom called me today. Oh course I was a half asleep, we were talking and all of the sudden she said, "Hey it's 5:55 pm!!" I retorted with, "Time to do a real check!" Then I told her to about how to RC... I told her about the HOOF Technique and how to practice it. She was like, "WAIT, you sleep without one sock at night?"

      ------

      Just in case people don't know?

      Heat observation Of Foot Lucid Dream Technique.

      To do this Technique. :
      1) Daytime practice - build the habit of checking if your feet are the same temperature. This is essentially identical to a reality check. This one you were socks on both feet or gloves you can't do it with your feet.

      2) Nightime practice - Wear the sock on your left foot or glove during the night. This should have a subtle influence on your dream body, and then when you notice or check as will become habit due to your waking hour practice, during the dream this should cue you into lucidity.
      check regularly. Trust me, I'm still getting a handle on it, myself. It's better to check whenever something dreamlike occurs during the day. Essentially just consider it another test to add to your reality checks (and you should be performing at least 10 of those a day, with other RC)
      -------------------------
      With everything though, it takes a bit of getting used to. You still have to do the practicing... It's not as easy as people may think. I recall at times I pulled the sock off my foot or I was just uncomfortable at the beginning.
      I don't know about anyone else, but, I did have weird things happen in some of my lucid dream where DCs show up with lost limbs or people point at my feet?

      I was working with a colleague today. We were talking about our sleep habits, and then she went on to tell me about her lucid dreams. We then had a conversation about dreams and lucid dreaming. That was worth a RC, but I didn't want to do a nose pinch since my hands were dirty and I'm being careful about COViD. I thought about taking out something from my pocket to see if I could read it or if the words did something funny. But then I thought it would look like I wasn't paying attention to my friend. Some time later I looked at the clock on my phone to see if anything was odd. Apparently I was awake.

      But the previous time I had been listening to a friend talk about lucid dreams, it was a dream. It's not a common topic of conversation.

      I went sea glassing today at my special beach. While there, I ran into my ex-boyfriend, who was apparently also sea glassing. We stopped and chatted for a while. He said he had been going beach glassing there every single day since summer vacation started. And that he had been thinking about me all the time, but was afraid to call me. Wow. He asked me if I had a boyfriend. Wow. I hadn't seen him in over a year, we were together 18 months ago. I felt so bad though, because the truth is, I don't feel attracted to him anymore. And that's a healthy thing, because he dumped me twice during our relationship.

      That was just crazy. I did tell him about lucid dreaming, though!

      1. I was going outside about 7-ish last night. I went down to the woods. There was the cloud in the sky that looked like it was pointed in the diraction of the East? At first I saw a side profile of a woman in the sky with long white hair. Then I noticed a hand that was pointing at the east.
      2. It was there for a while in the sky. I did an RC because of it. There was also the wild turkey fighting with himself and getting stung. Then I saw a gopher on my path down to the woods.

      So today driving to Michaels, I look up in the sky and saw a cloud giving a thumb up, then to my left a little elf or Pinocchio in the clouds, I remembered about this and I was able to take a quick shot, by the traffic light. I did an RC, right on! (find the Pinnochio elf.)

      You know this reminds me of Guardians of the Watchtowers, for some reason. RC.

      We just recieved a really weird plastic compass/ sun deal thing, in the mail, today. I'm the one who went out to get the mail. We keep getting weird things the mail for the past few months..From someone I don't know? Um, seriously, what the fuck? Sorry if I'm swearing. So, before I do anything I'm going to do an RC. *Takes a deep breath*

      And I'm not sure if I should be happy or freaked out about it.

      I wouldn't touch it if you don't know where it came from. You don't know what that person did to it.

      Anyways, last night I saw beautiful snails on the wall, 3 in total, just like in my dream the night previous to that. I take it to mean slow and steady progress toward my goals.

      I got up from my chair and went to the tv room and asked someone if they were going to do a wash... They told me that they were just thinking about that very subject. Of course I laughed because I didn't think that they were thinking the same thing. Did the RC.
      Our dryer is broken so we have to put our stuff out there to dry. Besides you don't really need that extra humidity.

      First thing this morning, go outside and see:

      Double rainbow all the way across the sky. Yeah yeah, so intense.

      My sister and I were talking about Physics and we were talking about mass, light, 'ghost particles' and matter. So I stopped and did a reality test. I carefully pinched my nose and tried to push my hand through my palm while she was still talking about it. Nope, not dreaming as a phantom.

      Sitting outside, I like to sit underneath this gigantic hanging airplant. It's nice and shady. One of the branches was in my face though, so I reached up and grabbed it to move it out of the way. Confused, and I thought, wow... this sure is a slimy branch. Confusion turns to horror. Nope. It's just another huge tree frog.

      Playing a game, realise I'm reading a character's journal about dreaming, then further along the character mentions becoming a giant creature in one of their dreams. Instant RC moment for me, especially since it was somewhat unexpected. And it was also a good reminder that I don't RC in some situations while playing games where I typically really ought to.

      Had a weird RC moment just today when we went shopping; when leaving the shop I saw a stick/branch that looked very much like one I'd left to season (same length, bark, smaller branch bits) and which I'd used for some plants recently, for a moment I was actually convinced it was one of my sticks but there was no way it could have just appeared there. What really made it stand out was that it was almost right underneath where a light is and it wasn't there when we first went in the shop.
