Lucid dreams in 2009: 1
Do an RC everytime U wake up from bed even after naps. U can space them about 30min apart during the day...that way U'll get the idea that each time U do an RC...it'll 'last' for 30min if Ur not dreaming, after which U may be dreaming. |

You should RC throughout the day, but don't make a chore out of it. I think someone said about 50 a day is ideal. Use a few different RC's to make sure you're awake. Personally I conclude that I'm not dreaming... yet. |
|
I heard that it's good to do a RC when you experience a change in scenery. It happens a lot in dreams, so maybe you'll catch it. I think the nose-plug RC works the best, and when I'm in public, I just constrict my throat so that I can't breathe, and then try to breathe. |

Lucid Tasks:
Beat my subconcious senseless with a pointed stick
Meet Yoda, and get him to teach me the ways of the Force
Find out what a Strappleberry and a Masafuchi Nut look like
Also, when you see a personal dreamsign that you found through your dream journal. |
|
I tend to dream about doing things I feel guilty or paranoid about, such doing or possessing drugs, and stuff like that. Things you worry about tend to frequent your dreams. So do a reality check when you're doing something that invokes a negative, emotional response. |
|
I dont understand this. Whats the point of a reality check? |
|
Hey there, |
|
Why don't you read the tutorials? Why doesn't anybody read the tutorials?? |
|
you should do more rc's at night |
|
The best thing is to do a reality check as much as possible, and i find the best reality check to perform is to observe your surroundings and ask yourself if you are dreaming because in dreams your surroundings are always strange (things in the wrong place, strange objects, odd looking people etc). |
|
-do reality checks throughout the day. randomly. |

I dont ever RC, but I if I did i'd do the nose check. I also did the observe your surroundings but I just stopped... |
|
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. |
|
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! |
|
I have no idea. I replied. I just didn't know. Sorry about that. |
|
I think it's nice for you to post this since many of us(like me) aren't that good about reality checks.. seems I will find this thread helpful |
|
oh my i want to leave. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
I don't know the right answers to the questions, but I'm going to give you my two cents and hope that my opinion helps . |
|
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going To California with an aching in my heart.
Led Zeppelin
I put sticky notes in places I go to a lot (computer, fridge, toilet, ext...) oto remind me to do a RC. |
|
I think the threader wants to know if your reality checks have led to LDs or not, not just what they are. At least that's something I'd like to know. |
