Thanks for the reply Howetzer

sort of make sense to me , I think when i say to myself in my dream 'Oh Fudge i'm dreaming' then i know it's a dream otherwise i'm just going with the flow without really taking control

RC's I was doing them all the time then realized that if I did them whenever my surroundings changed it would be more sensible as I spend 8 hours sat behind a computer then 3 hours sat down in front of the TV at night

so whenever I leave a room , go out in the car etc. I'll try and push my hand through my palm, or if I stand in front of the mirror I'll try and push my fingers through the mirror I would guess I must do at least 25 a day

another one i'm hoping will help is, whenever i see a pretty woman i'll hold my nose and try and breath, just on the of chance i'll dream about some pretty yng woman and do the check lol

I know when I have control in my dreams as the first time I did it was just so real yet I new I was dreaming and could move around and do almost whatever I wanted to though since the first time I have never had such success - it's almost as if the excitement of wanting to do it is now stoping me

all the best
