If an RC fails, it means it did it's job and you're lucid now. The other thing is do more than one RC...and do and RC that you know will work everytime. That silly nose RC never works for me. Read something twice. |

Well, I've had some great success recently with lucid dreaming (ended a dry spell with back to back lucids), but last night I would've had my 3rd night in a row with a lucid except there was a problem. My favorite reality check failed (the nose plug RC). |

Haha. Yeah that happens to me ALL the time. I"ll even have someone come up to me and say "what do you care, since this is all a dream anyway?" and I'll totally miss the sign. We've all got a lot of learning to do. But in general I would highly recommend that you use more than one RC for this very reason. Basically the way I see it is, if you're in a place where you feel like you should RC...then you're probably dreaming anyway. |

Ok I'll try it out. |

Yeah last night I remember doing that same RC, except it didn't work the first time. But somehow I KNEW I was dreaming, and I tried it again. The second time I could still breathe through my nose, though it was kinda shallow and strange feeling. I guess I'm just so used to doing RCs in real life that my real life response is now expected in my dreams... |

Yep. That's precisely why. You begin to expect it. That's why I'm not entirely into the whole concept of routinely RCing anyway, which is probably why I don't often remember to do them, yet still have DILDs. Wow that was a run-on sentence. Anyway I figure lucid living is a better alternative. It works better for me anyway. |

The nose RC, while probably the most reliable, is not entirely accurate. I'd recommend getting into the habit of not only doing two or three RCs instead of just one, but also genuinely asking yourself if you are dreaming. |

I do the - 'think back through what I've done today' RC, last night in my dream I thought - am I dreaming, and was just trying to think over what I'd done that day when a DC interrupted me with some stupid question, which distracted me from my RC and I forgot all about it... dam DC's I'm sure they do it on purpose. |
|
I always do my RC's in pairs to make sure. |
|
That's exactly what I do most of the time. I often do the lucid living, but as a reality check I just think back on how I got where I am at this very moment. In a dream I generally materialize somewhere with know true awareness or reason as to why and how I got where I am. |

Failed rc's happens to me alot aswell but it's always through the time rc, a rc that never fails for me is the finger counting rc. |
