Thread: HypnosChthonius' Workbook

(Despite getting a normal amount of sleep) no recall yesterday and only one very tiny fragment, which popped into my mind during the day, today…
Not very satisfied with that. I will try to get even more sleep to boost my chances.

As for the nose RC, I did it once in a dream. For me it was not really like breathing through my fingers but more like I was unable to completely plug my nose no matter how hard I tried. There was always some leakage. It is like my brain always wants to find an excuse for the things that don’t behave like IWL.

I would suggest to have the mindset that it will show that you are dreaming, both when practicing during the day and especially in a dream. If you assume that you are awake when doing RCs while awake, you are much more likely to assume that you are awake and rationalize away any RC that shows that you are dreaming during a dream. Try the mindset that "any moment could be a dream." After all, most people never suspect all of the crazy things that happen in dreamland…they are dreaming and completely unaware that they dreaming…so why can't you be dreaming right this moment (RC RC).

If you are already doing this, then we just need to raise awareness.

This can happen on occasion to even those who are the best at recall, but as you suggested you are looking at good things to boost your chances.
