Thread: Reality Check Confusion

All yesterday i thought i would do observation checks like every 10 minutes all day and every 45 minutes or so do my usual reality checks which include observation checks but i am cutting out the observation checks on their own out because last night in every dream i recall i was doing observation checks and there were odd things going on but i didn't find it odd, like i woke up in the middle of the night i woke up and done a reality check. I fell asleep and had a false awakening so i asked myself if i was dreaming and observed my surroundings and i recall i had a different carpet but found this normal.

The positive is that the last two nights have involved reality checks but the observation checks have let me down in both. I have corrected the reality checks so tonight should be the night i break my 9 day lucid drought.

I do a nose plug or throat block check right when I wake up, at various times during the day, and before I go to bed. Also, in the morning and at night I usually do a check with my watch and/or alarm clock. If you have any recognizable dream signs, do an RC if/when you see one.

Constant RC is the best way. The whole thing about dream yoga and watching all your surroundings all the time is bomb. Except that I don't meditate, I just try to constantly be aware!
