Thread: I've Found My Method!

ok... I don't know if anyones thought of it yet but what I'm doing is giving fantastic results. I simply RC everytime I enter a room... its great cause my dreams are never in one room the entire time. of course that is alot of RCs per day... but I've been having a ton of LDs thanks to it... I really recommend trying it.

Hey that's a really good idea! I guess you would get into a habit really quickly too. I'll have a go at this.
Thanks heaps

Thank you really much, that's an awesome idea.

I go from room to room a lot too, in my dreams. (and real life )

Wonderful technique if you can remember to do it. Good thinking!

Yup. I have been doing this recently myself, and I can certainly confirm that it works extremely well.

So what kind of RC do you use? Finger-through-hand, the nose check, or something else?

I can't tell if that last post was sarcasm or not.

I usually do a nose plug... unless people are around, then I do a mental check.

Now that's a lot of RCs, lol. It would work, but are you sure you could stand to do an RC everytime you made the slightest bit of advancement in you day?

Mental checks aren't as reliable as physical checks, and they may fail more often. I think the more reliable mental checks are those like looking at a clock and seeing if the numbers change oddly when you look away and look back, or looking at text and seeing if it changes oddly when you look back. Also, try looking at the back of your hands, looking for any oddities there, and if there are any oddities, make sure you can logically explain them completely, as if you can't you're probably dreaming and should do another more conclusive test. Also, when you RC, make sure that you do it very carefully and thoroughly, so that you do not make a dumb mistake like "I have eighteen fingers like always, not dreaming", and then wake up pissed off (though it probably will be a little less obvious than that).

I was just about to post a topic about this, my friend gave me the idea. I do a reality check whenever I see one of my dreamsigns, but now I also do one whenever I walk through a doorway, or go up or down stairs. I just started today though so I'm only hoping it will work. Seems like a great idea though.

I've been using a method some what similar. It gives fantastic results if you just reality check before opening a door. Simply walk toward the door but before opening it, mentally ask yourself if you are dreaming. Then imagine someone on the other end of the door, and upon opening it will be the reality check. This can become a habit every time you open a door.

Super idea

Yeah thats a very simple, but yet brilliant idea thanks Metcalfracing. The simple methods like this are usually the ones that work the best.

I've seen this suggested before, but never carried out properly, and it's really great that you're getting results. The only thing I question, is how long before you burn out, and get so tired of RCing everytime you enter a room. I had a streak of LDs from doing tons of RCs a while ago, and since the streak ended, i've had maybe 3 lds, but then again I think I am just not motivated enough, and need some motivation to get back to it. Worries aside, if you are able to keep what you are doing up for a while, and don't get bored, then you have a great technique for yourself.

Great idea, been doing it for two days now. Not sure if I've had any LD's though as I can't remember my dreams, hmm...

Well after like 28 days things become a subconsious habbit, maybe it will be anoying for a while, but after that ammount of time of doing it diligantily it will be second nature, you wont even think about it. (That could lead to problems though)

I wonder why it works so well if all your dreams are outdoors? :S Mine are too usually

I read this yesterday and thought it was a great idea. Although, I don't find myself ENTERing rooms when I'm dream, I can imagine seeing myself in an unfamiliar room and doing a reality check.

Unfortunately, I'm a very forgetful person and I walk around my house a lot; for some reason I can keep consistent with it. I'll give it a shot for a few weeks though and see how it works for me.

EDIT:

Problems like what? Constant lucid dreams, maybe? I can see how that might get annoying after a while, but keep in mind that any habit can be unlearned : )

This actually sounds like quite a good idea I mean, rooms are things we see lots of in dreams so this method should work well... How long have you been doing the RC' for?

about 2 weeks... Its worked a lot since then. I find myself being in a building in most of my dreams. It is sort of annoying plugging your nose everytime... If I don't feel like doing it, I just do a mental one.

Thanks. I'll deffo be trying this method

Nice.
Simple and effective.

NICE IDEA!

Sweet! Does this mean I get a sticky? Just kidding. I'm just glad I could help.
