I don't think I ever did RC again later in a lucid dream, after the first initial RC that confirmed my lucidity. I do other things to keep my aware that I'm dreaming, like clapping my hands while yelling "I'm dreaming". |

Hey guys! I wanted to see if you also experience this kind of stuff, here it goes. When I reach critical state in a regular dream, I'm 99% percent sure that this is a dream(inner awarness?) and I'm going for a reality check. I push my finger through my palm and I pinch my nose and try to breathe. It works. I stabilize myself, become fully lucid. After stabilization, interaction with dream objects, everything seems more real to me and RCs kinda fail. I try to push my finger through palm again and I need to apply more force, it sinks in pretty hard, and also nose pinching gives me feling like in real life - I'm running out of air[during these moments I'm lucid and aware of my intention and what should happen]. But when I start to lose lucidity, I reassure myself with RCs and they work better these times. |

I was just thinking about this because I had nose plug RCs fail during a false awakening after a long lucid yesterday and this has happened a few times before. I believe if I breath in for long enough air would start moving but the realism of the initial try throws me off. I don't have much to add except anecdote so I would be interested to hear other peoples theories and input. |

There could be other factors at play, but I think most of the time RC fails in a dream because the way we practice them while awake. |

I just love knowing it is a dream and not doing the RC at all. Love it. |

When I begin to initially suspect I'm dreaming but haven't fully confirmed it to myself yet, my RCs occasionally will seem to want to indicate reality at first, though they'll eventually begin to work reliably if I continue to remain skeptical and believe there's a decent chance I could be dreaming. |
