Thread: Experimental method to get a DILD in every single dream

Which is why I'm always stressing the fact that when you do a RC, you need to just pause, clear your thoughts, and prove to yourself why you are in reality and why you are not in a dream. Because you shouldn't just passively ask yourself if you are dreaming, you need to consciously and rationally determine why you are or aren't.

I do ask myself if I'm dreaming and forgive me if I forgot to state that (which I did ).

Ah I should've quoted, my post was in response to drewmandan's

People are the most difficult dream sign for me to recognize. The trouble is, I am always distracted when I am with another person. Obviously, if I am talking with them, I am not thinking about dreaming. I am listening to them, trying to follow what they are saying, ect. This makes it the hardest time to hold onto my awareness, or remember to do a RC.

Ah I see.

...

I feel stupid.

Robot Butler: I know it's hard, but imagine the possibilities if you get it down! Every dream is a DILD!

Ah no problem, no worries

And not necessarily every dream, you'll always miss a few. You'll always forget a few.

I am trying to reality check everytime I walk through a door way. But it isn't going to well.

My dreams don't usually involve me walking through doorways, or if they do, I don't stop and think, "Hey! Look! It's a doorway!"

...

I usually just rush through any doorways, distracted my current adventure.

I don't think that that would work for me...

Good luck, though!

Btw, any results from people trying this out?

For this reason, I tend to do RCs also when I am totally alone.
