      Trying new RCs

      i have recently been using the 'Finger-through-palm' technique, but i'm thinking of changing it up (more like adding to it). here are a couple:
      1. Try to move objects with telekenisis (spelling?)
      2. RC everytime you walk through a door
      3. jump and try to fly
      any other suggestions?

      Everytime I enter a new room I take into account as many details as I can. So when I'm dreaming I notice when everything is blurry and boom I'm lucid. I know this works because I've been doing it for 4 days and I had a lucid last night...

      So you have had one lucid and KNOW it works?

      Anyway use the nose plug rc. Its the most reliable.

      4. Any time you get into a car.
      5. First time you see the color red
      6. Next sexual activity.
      7. Evey time you use the bathroom.

      I am going to continue experimenting for a little with it to be sure but my brain totally latched onto it and it worked perfectly and that was the first night i tried it with a WBTB so hopefully it continues to work haha.

      You should always do more than one RC of course. The nose plug never works for me... I do the flying attempt, pyrokinesis, finger through palm, light switching, thinking back to the beginning of the day, and examination of my environment. Bet of luck.

      Along with the other reality checks, try counting your fingers to see if you have five. When you count though, count thumb + 3 fingers + 1. If you do thumb + 2 fingers + 2 fingers it is easier for your brain to recreate the appropriate amount of fingers, and therefore harder for you to become lucid.

      2 isn't an RC in itself, but as for 1 and 3, they're more reliant on dream control than actual dream behavior. The nose-plug check works because it's very hard to create the sensation of not being able to breathe, but trying to fly (as one example) might not always work. First, you should have reliable dream control to be able to fly whenever you wish; also, you might have horrible control in some dreams, which is just how dreams are sometimes, so the reality check could be rendered useless.

      At times when you're actually going about doing an RC, you're probably aware enough to tell (to some extent) whether you're dreaming or not, anyways - saying this, it would be easier to stick with a tried-and-true method of RCing, because if an RC fails, your mind can easily slip back into non-lucidity since you're not 100% certain if you're in a dream state.

      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 look at my hands, because i have established that in my dreams i have 6 fingers on one hand.
      It is usually slightly different for different people; find a way that works for you, i guess.

      That won't always be true. Dreams aren't that consistent. Sometimes you might have 6 fingers, but sometimes you'll have 3 or 8... sometimes you'll have the right number but they'll be too short or blown up like balloons. Looking at your hands is a good RC, just don't expect them to always be the same in dreams.

      Sorry for the confusion, what i ment to say is i usually wont have 5, the number is irrelivant. Good point though.
