Thread: Failed RC in dreams

Perhaps you need to start with an RC that you can't logically dismiss, like shooting a fireball, flying or even doing the finger through palm first. Because breathing through the blocked nose is (to me anyway) the most easy to dismiss logically, but most other RC's aren't. Finding a digital clock could work too.

Cheers

Yeah the breathing through the nose thing is a hard one to really feel and get right especially in dream state.
The finger through palm is simpler and effective.
I just need to look at my hand and see the floppy long wavy fingers.

Floppy long wavy fingers? Can you describe what it would look like so that I know what to expect in my dreams? Would I actually see my finger go through the palm of my hand and come out the other side like some magic trick?

Most of my dreamsigns are everyday things (bathrooms, water, the same two people) should I do the RC everytime I'm in a bathroom or see my friends or running water?

I found normal things were useless because my mind wouldn't be able to distinguish between real life and dreams since they were so ordinary RC's.
The finger in the hand...yes your finger sinks through your palm like a magic trick.
With the looking at the hand...I find if I look at my hand regularly through the day and focus on it for a few seconds, saying in my mind "I am dreaming".
I do this because it takes any question away if it is dreaming or not because my hands look normal, but if they go wavy like tentacles or I have like 7 fingers, and I do it...then I go Lucid every time.
Hard thing is to get to look at your hand in your dreams often enough.
It is where the daily practices come in. At work people would think you are checking the time or looking at your nails or something, so don't worry about people thinking you are crazy.

How would I practice the RC's of shooting fireballs and flying in real life?
