I can honestly say that doing all these techniques I've read about on this site hasn't really done much for me. During my 1 week of Winter Break in February I set my cell phone alarm clock so that every hour of the days I would do a RC and did this only for 2 days. I had 8 LDs that week and haven't had one since than which is 1 month.

Sure, doing some WILD techniques got me to the sensations and partly HI, but never past that although may have had a little part in the week I had 8 LDs but I think the RC's were the main cause.

The purpose of RCs is to check if you are in reality instead of in a dream. By doing it enough during each day, one hopes that he starts to do them in dreams as well hence bringing forth LDs. There is no law saying that one must do the WILD techniques, MILD techniques, etc. They are merely just supposed to increase your chances of LDs occurring.

Although some of you may disagree with me, I feel that at least for myself that performing RCs is the only thing that is needed. Although since I've just been in this business since Jan. 26, 2006, I suppose there's lots of time left for this opinion to change. LOL.
