I've been using a RT lately that's really been working well for me. It's unclear if anyone has previously made this suggestion. I'm pretty well read on LDing but can't recall anyone else proposing this specific method?

I use reality tests when I think I'm dreaming and I want confirmation. This technique could of course be used during the day to encourage execution of this RT in your dreamspace prior to lucidity as well.

Simply ask yourself "what have I been doing for the last 10 minutes?". If you can't recall a damn thing, or if the sequence of events doesn't make sense, you're dreaming!

This works great within your dreams for confirmation, because you're not relying on any external stimuli. For example, looking at a digitial clock for reasonableness works well, but you still need to clock in your dream to execute the RT.

I think this would work well for periodic reflections through the day as well. People complain that their RT's become somewhat robotic. This RT forces you to reflect and do some real critical thinking. Using the clock example, yeah - it's easy to glance over and say "that seems reasonable". But very little real reflection went into that conclusion.

Anyway, this RT helped me to achieve my first full fledged flying experience sunday morning. That was an A+ experience - I'll be back for more with renewed confidence in my flying abilities.

Enjoy
