Thread: RCing - A waste of time?

None of my lucid dreams started with a reality check, I just "realized I was dreaming" and accepted it. Then if I fly or summon something, that just confirms it.

I actually really want to do a reality check in a dream but I never remember to. I just wonder what its like to put your finger through your palm or something

I understand where you are coming from, I have never used a RC in a dream, or intentionally used one. Sometimes I will look in the mirror and notice I look different and then I snap into lucidity, but I have never thought, "I'm going to check my reflection to see if I'm dreaming." I don't think they are useless though because the keep the idea of lucid dreaming constantly in the back of your mind which definately helps for DILDing. I however have most of my sucess with WILDs, I find they are always clearer and last longer.
