telling time in dreams (clock technique )

hey. i found out this new discovery while reviewing my first LD.

first, let me explain how my first LD came to be. i saw a clock on the wall and it said 3:15. i remember i woke up earlier and my clock in my room said 4:00. knowing that time doesn't go backwards, i became lucid.

now,
you usually cant read clocks, numbers, or letters in your dreams. but you can tell time in your dreams. how does this happen..? well, you need to learn roman numerals. if the clock you are staring at uses slashes or roman numerals, then you can tell time in a dream and become lucid. this works usually with DIELDS. but if you can find a dash clock or a roman numeral clock(their very similar) then you can remember what time it is and become lucid.




i call this the Clock Technique!!!! (C)

interesting...

but i can read time AND letters in dreams, last time i looked into a digital clock in my dream it was 13:47, and i read my DJ in another dream, the problem is that the writing keep changing lol

and that is where dash clocks and roman numeral clocks come in handy. because they cant lie or chance letters on you :shadewink:

analog clocks have had the hands change position each time i look, even as the numbers stayed the same. The only way to tell the time in the dreamworld would be to look at the sun if it exists.

One of my only triggers for becoming lucid is a clock. I usually, when in doubt, check my "watch" (even if I'm not wearing one) or a clock; for some reason when I'm dreaming, it's usually spinning out of control, or in another way, in comprehensible -- this usually induces lucidity.
