Thread: RC system that should greatly increase LDs

Great idea! I started doing RC's by just doing it whenever i remembered, and i hae no problem remembering. But despite how much i do them, i have yet to randomly RC in my dream as you pointed out. Apparantly you should do it whenever something surreal or odd happens, but its surprisingly hard to find something like that constantly in waking life! This is JUST what i need, an easy trigger, which is in waking and dreaming life. Ill give it a try and post my results.

Sounds good enough. The only potential flaw I see in this theory is that, theoretically, you'd only realize your dreaming when things happen when your eating dinner in a dream (if of course thats the action you choose to use with a reality check before AND after). Reality Checks are meant for you to be aware as much as possible every day, not only at certain times.

I like the idea though, it'll be a good way for me to increase the amount of RC's I do everyday. I'll start at lunch everyday, before and after....then move on to dinner everyday before and after...then so on and so forth.

This is a good idea because I have the same problem. I can never remember to do reality in dreams. I'm gonna try it out and post the results.

This is a big problem for me too. I've been doing this for a month, and only done a RC in a dream once.
I goes for the hand RC, because i know that one works, and also, you always got you hans(hopefully) with you.

interesting...definitely going to try this...sounds like a good idea to me

thanks for the replies. I havent been able to keep up with this system because of a sailing trip(which was aweseome by the way), so I will have to depend on your results for now.

I think he means everytime you finish an action. Not just eating. Like, if you are mowing the lawn. When you finish, RC. If you walk to the store, as soon as you get there, RC. It's the end of the action that's the trigger. In theory, if you make it a habit to RC at the conclusion of an action, in a dream you'll do the same thing. So if, in a dream, you ride your bike to the park, as soon as you complete the action of riding the bike, you should do a reality check, and become lucid. If you link the RC to the trigger of a terminating action, it should trigger an RC no matter what action is being terminated.

The only problem I see, and I'm not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, is that there are too many actions that we do throughout the course of a day. It's probably going to end up like the five minuet method. Instead, try linking them to common dream activities, like walking to a destination, or only major actions instead of trying to hit every single action.

I am interested to see how this works out for other people, also.

that pretty much sums it up, ItalioCane. I'm glad that it is understandable. And yes, the frequency you would have to do it would make it like the five minute method. you could fix this by

or just not doing the terminating action RC unless it is a pretty major action. Instead of doing it at the end of cleaning one dish, do it when finished with the whole kitchen, so on and so forth.

Mild induced lucid dreams just don't appeal to me as much as WILDs. I would rather master a wild technique and consistantly have LD's rather than going through the process of making 50 rc's a day just to occasionally have an LD.

wilds are scary voices! haha
