When I am really aware I do around 30-40 RC's a day |
|
Curious to see how many times you people perform reality checks during the day. I have always tried to keep it at once a 1 per hour (Look at hand and observe surroundings) but ever since school started I tend to forget. |

I usually spike my awareness around 20 times per day; each time I do at least three reality checks. Usually it involves seeing if I can read a phrase, breathe through my plugged nose, and seeing if I can feel my heartbeat. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

I do them about 20 times a day and do the same thing as Puffin. |

Strangely (the only time) when I realized I was dreaming... I never actually reality checked anyway. |
|
I used to do about 20 a day, but I now I do around 5 to 10 physical reality checks (nose pinch, finger palm, etc.) while making contemplations of everyday events (conversations, seeing various people, odd weather, etc.) at least twice per hour. |

goals:
have a lucid dream [x]
maintain lucidity for more than ten seconds [x]
fly [ ]
talk to Stevie Ray Vaughan and learn his left-hand muting guitar technique [ ]
MY BIGGEST OBSTACLE: falling asleep
Depends, at first I used to do just one throughout the day, then changed to around 90+ because I lost my touch, now I try to do one again, but can only maintain it for a few hours, not the whole day >.< |
|
I haven't been doing them as much lately as I would like to, but then again I haven't been having as many lucid dreams as I have in the past. I normally will around 5 times a day, but in the past have done many many more. I've never actually counted how many reality checks I've done in a day. |

Yeah, Puffin. That makes sense when I found it out recently. |

It isn't left out, you have to bear in mind, RCs is the way to make yourself more aware and concious both, during awake and sleep, so it DOES play a big role in DILD. Not to mention I don't become lucid until I do a RC <.< |
|
What exactly is meant by seeing if you can feel your heartbeat? Do you just stand still and see if you can feel your heartbeat through your chest? Do you continue what you were doing and put your finger on your throat to feel your heartbeat? How exactly is this reality check done properly? |
|
I used to do the nose pinch RC every time I passed a door, thinking I would eventually pass through a door in my dream and do the RC instinctly.. |
|
Why do you RC? What purpose does it have to lucid dreams? |
|
A minor (single and simple) check every 5 minutes and major (3 or 4 checks, completely proving if i'm sleeping) every half an hour. And it still doesn't help |
|
Do you guys Rc routinely or sporadically throughout the day? |

3+ times a day, i just look around, is the traffic remaining steady at a constant speed? does this conversation make sense? how did i get here? does the sunlight reflect the time of day? i just run those thoughts through my head every so often, and maybe check my watch to see if it remains constant |

They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore.
It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language.
Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists.
The dreamer is banished to obscurity.
Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too.
By dreaming, every day.
I'm guessing that today I performed about 10 reality checks. |
|
I'm terrible at performing my reality checks, but when I do I find that I stand more chance of becoming lucid and of remembering it. My theory is that the check is not so important - although it has helped in dreams where my subconscious has tried to persuade me not to act out of place 'just in case it's not' >.< |

Made you look. Er, now do a reality check or something.
