Thread: Train your memory, who wants to join?

Okay here goes, never tried this before.

1. See water
2. See an animal
3. Use a pencil
4. Go up/down stairs

Bonus!: Whenever something exciting happens (not necessarily exciting, but like a telephone ring) Already failed like 20 minutes later, but it's bonus!

I'll do a RC today..
When I check out my inbox
When I check my cellphone
When I watch porn
When I go to the bathroom

i started trying to do this stuff about a mos. ago...and i have like 2 dreams anihgt that i can remb...no lucids yet..and i was trying to learn RCs, and i told my self everytime i c the computer, or the mirror

I'm going to rotate a few signs from my dream journal now. Just random things that I see or feel in my dreams that I also see in day to day life. I will repeat some of these things on different days too because some are recurring in my dreams.

The same rule applies though, it must be the FIRST time I see (or feel) these things that I do a RC.

The next time I see a toilet
The next time I do any sort of math equation in my head
The next time I see my dog, Hustler
The next time I see something yellow

I've been really lazy lately... I like yours, though, Bethany. I'll steal it for today

The next time I go to the washroom.
The next time I do any math in my head.
The next time I see a bus
The next time I see something yellow.

Sounds like good fun, and like a good idea =]

I'll start with...

When i change my clothes
When i go outside
When i use math in my head (stole that one, thanks girls, hehe, yoink!)
And um..Next time i hear a siren or music.

Me too.

The next time I hear my name.
The next time I eat something.
The next time I go into the bathroom.
The next time I see my mom.

Cool - I'm glad other people are having a go.

For me today:

The next time I see my workmate (Colin)
The next time I see my boss
The next time I see lollies
The next time I see a cat

I already failed...Lol.

Better luck tomoro me hopes.

Awww...

That's ok, I failed completely yesterday too. But I just try again the next day.

But I don't let that stop me from doing reality checks whenever I think of them anyway. Even if one of your events happens again and you missed it the first time, if it reminds you to do one, then go ahead and do one.

Oh goody, I'll start this.

man this is harder than it sounds! Good practice though. let me think... how about...
next time I see a red car
next time I hear the doorbell ring
next time I talk to someone on the phone
next time I hear a song come on the radio

I reckon! It's so hard I forgot to even make a list this morning. It's now 1:30pm here (in New Zealand). Still, better late than not at all:

Next time I see my friend
Next time I see something yellow (that is not in the room I'm in at the moment)
Next time I see a child
Next time I see a car driving along

I really like this technique of remembering RC's. I finally got my first intentional LD right after starting these.

Ok, todays:

Next time I see a child (I didn't see one yesterday)
Next time I talk on the phone
Next time I see, receive a text from or speak to my friend
Next time I look at my fire (after it's been lit and is going properly)

I'm going to fail ...

Next time I see a plane
Next time I jump
Next time I lounge on the sofa
Next time my sister talks to me

Nice to see some optimism goin' on Yoricko

Next time I see a plane // No planes
Next time I jump // No jumping either!
Next time I lounge on the sofa // I did RC!
Next time my sister talks to me // I did RC!

-----

Next time I see a Motorcycle
Next time I smell food
Next time I see an insect
Next time I hear a cat

Well, I ALMOST became lucid last night...

One of my dream characters was talking to be about mp4's, and I found this confusing. I thought they were called mp3's, so I almost did a RC....

But the character interrupted me with another explanation

The first time hey...............I must try this.
