Thread: Lucidity check

These are really common for us Lucid Dreamers.
A reality Check, looking at your hands (how many fingers do you have), a clock (is the time wrong), a mirror (do yea see a reflection) , do light switches work and possibly look at people as they may look off.

You mean that spinner that he carries around I assume, I don't think they work too well as in some dreams it may not be there. Thats just what I have heard so I could be wrong.

Also, the spinner could actually fall too in a dream. It is not necessarily that if you are in a dream it will never tumble. Also I love the nose plug RC.

Most of lucid dreamers do, and that helps awareness alot. I do various RCs IWL, though i often end up not doing RC in dream because i often become lucid because of specific feeling in dream.
Here's a good tutorial about RCs too: http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...hecks-rcs.html

Feeling? Like a hunch? Can a beginner try to feel it in a LD and memorize it for future use? How do you detect it? Do you need heightened self-awareness and prospective memory?
Sorry for that many questions, but I need that answer

The more LDS I have the more I recognize the feel of a dream so RC are getting rarer for me. I don't even practice them much now, but if I go a week or so without an LD I start RCs back up.

It's like your becoming more self-aware in the dreams

My problem with reality checks is that I almost never trust them.
If I do the reading check I am always afraid that I might have misread on my first check, and if I manage to fly I always feel like it might have been a false memory.
But at least it makes me confident enough to try out various things.

But at least it makes me confident enough to try out certain barely acceptable things;
one test I made in one of my longest lucid dreams was to simply walk up to an attractive girl and kiss her, and she just accepted it and welcomed it - and since something like that would almost never be blindly accepted just like that in waking life I was fairly confident that it was a dream. xD

Nose plug don't fancy you?

I haven't tried that before, I will try and remembering doing that in my next lucid dream. =P

It's just that lucid dreams tend to be really realistic, and it actually feels like you are physically there, so it's quite overwhelming to accept that nothing actually exists.
I have become lucid several times in the past, but sometimes I have that doubt inside me that doesn't completely go away, even though I am practically sure that I am dreaming.

oh, then you need self-awareness exercises
