That sounds interesting. Count me in. :D
So, how's it going with your memory?
I failed most of them today :(
- I turn on a television or radio --> only turned off consiously the TV several times (flat mates turned it on) but when I turned on my own radio, I forgot...
- I see a vegetable --> only on second view, 3 seconds after I realised that a tomato was also a vegetable :P
- I see a red car --> disputable, was unaware when walking outside, when I finally saw a red car and looked back, I had already passed 3 others.
- I handle money --> read 'dollar bill' in a book and did an RC instantly, but I guess that didn't count. When I paid for my groceries, I forgot about the money task.
Pff, this is really more difficult than I thought. I'll post tomorrows targets again in the morning :) There are some nice ones on the list (one of them is already a common RC though)
I Turn on a Television or Radio: I remembered to do this one.
I See a vegetable: This one, not so much.
I See a Red Car: Fortunately, there was one in the parking lot, and I happened to remember.
I handle Money: Believe it or not, I handled no money today...odd...
:banana:I turn on a television or radio:got it:banana:
I see a vegetable:failed I was eating a piece of broccoli and I forgot and didn't realize it untill 20 minutes later
I see a red car: got it:banana:
I handle money: got it:banana:
I would like to do this, though my internet access is limited. I will do them/report when I can.:)
That's very clever!!
I'm new to this forum, but i've been lucid dreaming since i was about 6 years old (that i can remember) but decreasingly trhough the years.
I've tried to do RC, but found no motivations. And this is totally cool! Thanks!
Appart from that, last week i got a watch that sounds every hour, and i keep that on even at night. Will do RCs whenever i hear it, even if i sleep (at least i'll try). So far i haven't heard my watch in any of my dreams, that i can recall.
I did all those things today and failed to RC at any of them :( I only remembered about RCing when I got home :(
Quickly the targets for today, Thursday, as I'm probably working the whole day without PC till the evening...
I will do a reality check next time...
- I read something on paper (was: other than this list, but I'm sure you'll be reading more than this post on the forum)
- I check the time (that should be an easy one)
- I notice myself daydreaming
- I hear the telephone ringing
Please report back when the day is over, or when you've seen/done all of the targets.
Good luck to all!
4/4:banana:
perform a long reality check for 15min... not for few seconds.. lol
that would be little task..
and you people just do rc for few seconds and you forget about it for a day..
Well done LDoneironaut!
I've scored 3/4 today (missed the daydreaming, since I daydream so often, I don't even notice I'm doing it)
I'm so in!!! Can I suggest when you write the targets each day, to put them in bold writing or a different color... It's going to get hard to find them.
That makes a lot of sense. Count me in.
Im going to do a RC when:
I listen to music
See a car
Throw something to the garbage
I get an itch somewhere (this one is going to be difficult =) )
Na, count that last one out, its making me itch lol. When i turn on the tv, computer, radio etc.
Thanks for joining Somnum.
The targets change every day.
You don't need to do an RC every time you see/hear/do something, only the FIRST time you hit the target (explanation is in the first post)
And Jamal, good idea, I'll put tomorrows target list in a BIG, BOLD and colorful type.
I succeeded in the time one, but only cause I looked at the clock right after reading it. Does that count? :lol:
I Check The Time: Done. Well, actually, I looked at my watch as part of another reality check, but I think that should count...
I Read Something On Paper: Done.
I Catch Myself Daydreaming: I'm daydreaming most of the time, so this one wasn't too hard.
I Hear The Telephone Ringing: Well, it was a telephone on TV, but it seems like that should count.
Haha, I knew this 'check your watch' target was going to interfere with other targets, good one you hit all 4 asymptote!
Targets for today, Friday 23rd of November
I will do a thorough Reality Check the NEXT TIME:
- I open a door
- I see a bird
- I use the toilet after noon
- I see the stars
Imprint this list into your prospective memory and remember to check the FIRST time you hit each target. This list is nicely spread over the day...
sara darling.. so all day i must be daydreaming to be able to fullfill only 4tasks? :)
you want too much from me..

But please, could you explain why you keep posting here without being interested in doing the exercise.
Since you seem to be very much into overall awareness, maybe you could help us 'daydreaming fools' with some information instead of criticizing our attempts in training our mind?
Thanks :)
PS: did you read EWLD?
:)
1.i dont understand why you loose the feeling that you are in reality, not dreaming so quickly..
2. why only 4 small exercises?
3. why you do reality checks for few seconds only?? max one minute? why so short?
X: no i dont read books.. EWLD .. nope.. sorry :)
roguext22, this is Sara's thread and her exercise.Quote:

No one else seems to have an issue with what is being requested.
If you don't read books.. please stop commenting on an exercise based on a book that you didn't read. :?
okay, play your exercises without me..
maybe someone will start another thread to invite people to do more reality check or some other interesting play-practise...
okay ive done everyday all those tasks with no problemo.. so what i must do? to stay as a white crow.. while you keep playing nicely together..?
roguext22, I don't understand why you insist on posting in this thread if you are so dissatisfied with it's tasks and I'm respectfully asking you to STOP NOW before a warning is issued.Quote:

Thanks clairity
My day is allmost ending (well, its evening and I'm seeing the stars now) I only hit 1,5 target today. I totally forgot about the toilet after noon and I haven't seen a bird today (wasn't outside before dark and I live 11 high, no birds around my window...) Stars count only for half, as I was counting my targets for today, thought I missed #4 and remembered it was about the stars, so I looked up and saw stars. So that doesn't actually count as a RC triggered by the target itself.
One last not to roguext22
If you've done all exercises without missing one: my congratulations! You probably won't have a difficult task on trying MILD!Quote:

If you hit all targets with ease, by being so aware and have a good prospective memory, than you just don't need this exercise! So, no need to post here except when you have good ideas for us to increase our success with prospective memory training.
well..im little surprised you talk kindly to me, not like the rest..
well its quite easy to do those reality checks then you know what they are.. so all i wanted was to participate in a play - exercise with others.. ( i see others dont like me.. ) + its only 4 rc ( i have full right to get upset and tell little sarcasm about the number of rc.. )
i never understand two things...
why everyone "miss" to answer my 3 questions i wrote clearly..
and how everyone manage to misread my sentences and then teach me morality.. its like they enjoy to ignore my questions, and enjoy finding in my sentences some "hidden" messages like im dissatisfied with this thread and, my rude sentences..
