Hi...today I spent the whole day doing the hand RCs which included both hands alternately at random, checking if all 5 fingers are there and the colour of the skin....easily done 20 over. I feel mentally tired and cloudy after doing so many, does this happen to U guys?or am I just pushing myself too hard, I also read that the recomended number of RCs per day is 12 but I got carried away by my sheer enthusiasm...LOL. |

Everyone's different, but I personally don't think doing that many RCs. I find that you start to automatically answer yourself with "no, I'm not dreaming," instead of really thinking about it and challenging your reality. |

My dreamsign happens to be lightbulbs and lighting because it is also my hobby but as U know they are everywhere so it's like I will be doing RCs everytime I see a light then it's no different than doing an RC at will because U purposely look for a light to do an RC, it's too common and I feel it loses it's meaning. I think I will have to choose back the horse dreamsign but it's rare to see it in dreams... |

I used to RC daily, but I stopped after a while because it got tedious. In most of my LDs I just initiate an RC for like no reason and become lucid. Last night was a perfect example in my dream journal. Basically, as the dream started I just went "I'm gonna check my reality," and started poking my hand until my finger went through and I confirmed that I was indeed dreaming. |
|
so in your dream, when you poke your finger through your hand, how does it go through? is there resistance? or does it just go through like your hand isnt even there? Man if and when i do an RC in a dream and become lucid, i KNOW im gonna be freaked out and get too excited haha. |
|
am i dreaming?
Well the first few times I tapped it, it felt normal and I could feel it poking my hand. Then all of a sudden it just went through like my hand wasn't there at all. No resistance, or anything like that. :3 |

I was unaware there was a reccomended amount of RCs , but I think you may still have gotten carried away. When I was RCing a lot I did at least that much if not more, but eventualy it did get tiring. I think a good solution to this is to change up your RCs every once in a while. Don't just do hand RCs. Try the Nose Rc, or the text RC, Clock RC, etc. Spice it up a bit doing different RCs every time so you don't get weary of it. |

I can get tired of looking at my hand all the time for example, but just change RC then and use another one. |

I've recently taken a break from doing reality checks and thinking/living lucid dreaming ever since the negative effect of doing them during the day. I focused on the WBTB method instead....and had a lucid dream almost everynight I used it. No I don't get lucid spontaniously...I get them by using MILD. I program my lucid dream the way I want it, includes the RC and when it is used and what to do when I'm lucid but as of now...are too short to do anything... |
