This happens to me sometimes. It would feel like I am watching some else's dream. One of the first dreams I had when I started dream journaling was a cartoon dream. It was as though I was outside the dream watching Cartoon Network.

Look for shimmering air, objects that are moving around slightly and if any words or clocks are around, study them. This kind of RC should become a way of life.
Next thing you know, you will start questioning in a dream and when telling yourself how you know it is not a dream, you may go "see the sky is yellow, so I know,,, what? wait,,, where the heck is my body?,,, I am dreaming!"
A question about that. Should that be done after your RCs, considering that when you do your RC's you have to assume that you ARE dreaming?
