      "This is a dream."

      Hey there. I've had a few lucid dreams the past month, not the first time, but the most in a row. So I read a book called "Oneironautics" to learn some more techniques (spinning was very helpful). I'm glad I found this forum!

      I already had a practice of reality checking whenever I saw a feather, of trying to push my finger through my hand.

      Here's my question: Is it possible that stating "This is a dream." could be more effective than asking "Am I dreaming?"? You then try to control the environment with a strong intention, and if it works you know you're dreaming.

      It's kind of backwards to say "This is a dream." while you're in waking life, but it might be more successful.

      Any thoughts?

      Hmm... The point of RC's is to question your reality. "This is a dream" is more of a statement, you've reached a conclusion without the question really and sounds to me like the statement: "I'm awake" which we all are taking for granted.

      You should try it out though

      Have you ever heard of anyone mentioning this before? I haven't figured out a way to successfully search for something like it.

      If you can change the dream world with only a strong intention, might it be possible to be reality checking every time you say "This is a dream"?
