      Wow can't believe when I first started LDing was so long ago. I am now relearning LDing again from the bottom up. Right now I am focusing on Dream Recall along side with Reality Checks.

      The Reality checks I do consist of: Poking my fingers through my hands and then I look around the world say "Is this a dream?" in my head.

      I want to get better at my "world examination" skill, right now if I just look around (lets say my globe) I would say "The globe is a beige colour and there are many different countries" and thats about it. I don't know what I am supposed to look for.

      I started jotting down my dreams around 5 days ago. I have been experimenting with WBTB but I think ive been doing too much of that and been fucking up my sleep schedule. Oh and another question, can meditation help with LD? I tried out a 20 minute session and I felt pretty good about it.

      Hi again! This is the kind of thing I look for when examining. Look at the back of my hand; in a dream it has little detail, but in life it has hundreds of little hairs and many veins I can see through the skin. If I do see veins I will see it they squirm and move about because the dream will struggle to stay consistent. I will look at a clock then check again to see if it makes sense and stays the same number. I look at something written like a sign or label. In a dream the letters are messed up and the words are confusing; repeat this just like the clock and see if it changes. I will touch something like my pant leg very lightly and and brush the finger tips over it. Finger tips are far too sensitive for a dream to replicate the sensation of light brushing over a surface. If it feels completely normal and vivid I am probably not dreaming. this whole process may take less than 1 minute.
      Meditation is very helpful. Look at the Dream Yoga stuff to get ideas for types of mediation that may be more useful at first compared to the basic "stop thinking" type of meditation.

      Hello! Yes, I think meditation is very helpful. I like walking meditation: because it simulates the environment of a dream very well. I practice remaining in the present moment, aware of my awareness, aware of all the things I'm experiencing, and critically reflecting on the dreaminess of it all, doing RCs whenever I feel the need or desire to, and always when something dream-like or unexpected or surprising happens.

      Don't stress about trying to hold on hard to self-awareness: just continually notice when your attention has wandered, then gently relax and let go of your distraction, do an RC, and center yourself in the present moment again. Each time that you "come back to yourself" is a moment of lucidity, to be celebrated! Repeating this process over and over (the "lucid moment" of returning your awareness to the present experience) will, over time, with consistency, start to move in to your dreams as well.
