Thread: Man I am so TOUCHABLY close to this!!

Jumping? That actually works as a RC?

But yeah, just keep at it. you'll get it

Maybe the jumping is the problem? How would jumping confirm you are dreaming? Maybe next time you should try something different like plugging your nose and trying to breathe in or try counting your fingers.

cuz according to wikianswers you jump WAY HIGH or fly in a dream

Well if it works in realizing you're dreaming, that's cool. Like OldSparta said, with practice, it should eventually work

That happens to me all the time in my LD's. I jump then completely lose control and shoot up like a rocket. It kinda sucks...

oh maybe it's not a good reality check?

Still, why do I always go blank?

If you think you're awake when you test reality by jumping, you might find that gravity behaves exactly like you expect it to, and you come back down to earth as normal. Like Conzo suggested, you might be better to try a more reliable one. My favourite is the hand. You can do it in public and not look like you've just snorted something.

As for going blank, I have no idea. Keep trying and eventually you'll stay where you are and become lucid. Otherwise, get into the habit of RC-ing every time you see a major change in scenery in real life. Say every time you wake up, go outside/inside, drive somewhere different etc. It might carry over to your dream and you'll RC wherever you end up.
