      Exclamation Reality check FAIL

      There's one RC that never gave up on me, and that's the digital clock RC. Nonetheless I always try new things, and I read on this forum that there's an even better way of RC'ing, and that's trying to put your finger through your hand.

      I tried it last night. It didn't work. It felt just like real solid matter no matter how hard I pushed my finger into the hand. Why is that? Has anyone else had this particular RC fail?

      I was able to pass through a door easily, but not my finger through my hand. I guess I'll just stick to the digital clock. It's foolproof for me.

      If a RC fails on you then just do another one. Another good reality check I'd recommend would be the nose reality check. You just sorta pinch your nose with two fingers and try to breathe through it. In a dream if you do that, then you will breathe and you'll be able to tell if you're dreaming.

      I for one have even failed the "pinch test" I didn't feel what I would classify as pain, but it definately felt like something so I figured I wasn't dreaming when in fact I was.

      I've pushed my finger through my hand quite a few times, but only as a back up RC when I didn't want to believe the nose pinch one. I have had it fail once, I think. But the reason for that is because I didn't try hard enough, then gave it up. But As long as I keep the pressure on, and sometimes twist my finger back and forth, it will slowly begin to sink through. You should try it some more. After your already Lucid. It's cool, it feels really weird. and it's fun to show DC's your finger sticking through your hand. Look what I can do.

      But I agree, the digital clock seems very reliable. I've been trying to get myself to use my watch more and more. Weird shit happens with that one too. it's great.
