Which angle do you look at your finger/hand RC

**Bossalinni** · 10-08-2011 04:01 PM

Just wondering what angle most people look at their hand when they are doing their finger through the palm RC.

Ive been usually just looking directly at my hand. When it goes through it usually just stick right into it,like playdoh.

Not sure it really matters but sometimes I dont always become lucid off it.

Now ive been looking at it from a side angle where i will be able to see it come out the other side. Gonna see if it carries over into the dream and goes all the way through.

For me I just look at my palms. I hold my hands up to like bellybutton height, you don't need them right up in your face unless you are doing a really long serious R.C.
In my dreams whenever I have seen them it's been at the same angle, and it's still worked.

I do it from the side, and yeah it goes all the way through. It passes through as if my hand is a projection, like there's really nothing there.

I get different sensations everytime, most times it feels like sticking my hand through playdough but other times it's like nothings there. Still this is a highly unreliable reality check imo, it can even be hard to do in lucid dreams.

Oh, wait I see. I count my fingers as described, I do the finger through palm one sideways, but tilted a little so I see my finger touch my palm.

If I do end up doing the finger through hand reality check, I looked at it sideways. Like Avalanche said, I tilt my hand a little so I can see if my finger actually goes through. I tend to rely on how it feels more than how it looks, though.

It really doesn't matter, just mix it up. I often try pushing my finger through whatever object is at hand instead, for some reason it just seems to work better for me. My favourite it pushing my finger through a window since windows are kind of a dream sign for me and I have lots of experience going through them anyway. This makes me more apt to be able to make the glass melt whereas sometimes with my hand if I'm still not really convinced I'm dreaming, my hand will turn out to be solid and in my foggy mind I'll believe I'm not dreaming

I don't even look at my hands when i do the finger through the palm reality check. If i'm dreaming i expect feel a tingling sensation when pressing against my palm or at least a different feeling altogether

I don't really use this RC, but occasionally, i just look down at my hand xD nothing specific

From my first LD, I looked down at my hands and they seemed fuzzy, like not solid.

And with this, my left hand, the middle finger and index were combined, I saw the height difference in the fingers, but they were together. As I was drawn to this, I don't remember my right hand.

They were about waist height.
