I never really do them in real Life.. I keep forgetting, thus they dont work for me yet |

Hey guys, Ive read a lot about reality checks, things such as checking a watch, looking at your hands, etc. until it becomes such a habit youll eventually perform these actions in a dream to determine whether your dreaming or not. Im not going to describe what a reality check is or how to do one because im guessing 99% of you know what it is. But I was just wondering how many people actually do reality checks in there dreams. |

i do reality checks throughout the day. and in my dreams, whenever i have a lucid dream it starts with me looking at a clock, the clock going crazy, then me looking at my hands to be sure. clocks and my hands are the two reality checks that work for me. |
|
I used to RC as many as a dozen or more times a day, but it never seemed to do me any good. I had my first good lucid dream after I'd pretty much given up on RCs, so now I only bother when I remember. |
|
they usualy dont work for me. I get the same response here as in the dream world, usualy its a dream sign that tips me off. |

i never do RCs. i don't do any techniques. yet i have an LD about twice a week. i may share how later. and, both football and bowling suck imo. |

Sleep well and prosper.
Soccer does rule, and I hate football, I just thought it would sound...american.(no offense) |

Hockey and Broomball... |
|
I don't often do reality checks anymore really. |
|
I just realized something... |

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”
- Kurt Cobain (1967 – 1994)
This is something that has been on my mind for a number of years now. The line between waking and dreaming is becoming more and more fuzzy as time goes by and I have more LDs. |

I honestly don't think there is a difference between dreams and reality, still. I've had more fucked up shit happen to me while awake then while asleep. Not to mention that I almost constantly feel, and or see, strange things. How can you check for something that your not sure what it is? And as far as Carlos goes, he's full of bs, but his writing is still a good story. |

anyway Lost Soul, that is very interesting. i've had days where i feel like i'm in a dream., even though everything is perfectly normal. it's really freaky...i felt intence that day... |

I was driving home the other night from a friends house... it was late, foggy too, the way the fog wafted over and around my car caught my attention. And then It started freaking me out, I got that weird feeling whenever I experience the epiphany of lucidity, and i though oh shit no no no no, not in this place... not now. Thankfully there was a red light I stopped at and had a chance to calm myself down, it really started wigging me out. I went home went to bed.. and woke up somewhwere else. |

Same with me. I often notice that usually nothing in particular ever really changes or happens to make me get in these moods.. but I do often get in a certain state of mind after reading about lucidity, intensely focusing and training for lucidity, etc...and when I get like this I often see normally-ordinary things through a whole new scope. Like right now, in study hall...being on this board and reading stuff...I just look around and realize how no one ever acknowledges my presence. Normally I'd think nothing of it, as I don't have any friends in this class, but when I get in this enlightened sort of mood I just really intensely focus on these things. It's bizarre; I can just stare and no one ever turns to look at me or anything.. I'd compare it to Scrooge when he's in the past/future and no one can see him... |
