ive been getting very annoyed recently because i keep doing rcs in dreams and failing them. i got myself into the routine of doing reality checks regularly (i usually try and breathe through a pinched nose and look twice at text, that sort of thing, and i do it whenever i think about lucid dreaming, which is quite a lot).

i remember now at least three dreams where ive done rcs and come to the conclusion that i wasnt dreaming...and i wake up feeling very stupid.

does anyone have any good rcs that never fail, or good ways of remembering to do them? im frustrated because i would have had several lucid dreams by now if my rcs had worked.

Also i wanted to mention a dream i had the other morning. I seemed to be on the edge of a lucid dream, but i kept waking up. I was having a converstation with someone in the dream, but it seemed lke every time i blinked i woke up. I was so tired i managed to fall asleep again instantly and re enter the dream, but i still kept waking up. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Just curious.
