Thread: reality checks

if i did a reality check like literatlly every 5 mins of the day would it increase chance of attaining lucidity while dreaming, jus curious.
RC - hold my nose or check time

The answer is "maybe." I had my first deliberate LD the very first day I started doing regular RCs. It works for a lot of people, but not everybody.

Haven't had one in about two weeks now though... and still RCing as much as ever.

Put some thought into it each time you do it. Ask the question, then answer the question. Pick situations you encounter in dreams, if possible, to use as triggers for an RC.

I don't believe the frequency with which you do RCing matters, but the seriousness with which you do it. If you RCed every 5 minutes while awake, and REALLY checked in to see how you felt, how you experienced sensations, and how the world around you behaved, then I believe you would be LDing very soon.
