Thread: RC's

I seem to have a problem with them. I do the clock-check and text reading check every single day maybe about 10 times each. The problem is, I can't get myself to perform them in dreams. Every night I have extremely vivid dreams that I always remember, yet I cannot bring myself to perform a reality check within them. Any help or suggestions?

Well I think you have to do RC's consistently for a while before they transfer into your dreams. How long have you been at it? I might also suggest doing a different one, and maybe just focusing on one. I do the holding your nose and breathing RC.

You might also look through your dreams and see if you dream of a particular setting very often. For instance, if you happen to dream about being in your room fairly often, then in waking life I would do extra RCs there.

You have to identify your dreamsigns and when you see one you perform a RC and if it fails you're dreaming.. Some help here http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ead.php?t=1518

Well I've been doing this one here for about 4 days now. I'm thinking of going to 2 weeks and if there's no progress made, I'll just switch to another method. Also, I tried the holding nose check and that didn't work for me.

I think I was doing my favorite RC (the breathe through your nose whilst it's plugged one) for at least a month before it transferred into my dreams, but now it helps me become lucid around once a night. So I wouldn't let it put you off that it hasn't started to work yet - just keep at it.

I think this may work, but the problem is, about 1/2 of the dreams I have are either at school or outside in the woods. Since I have to leave school soon, I won't be able to do a lot there. Also, I don't really go out into the woods a lot so that's a no there too.

Doing an RC sometimes isn't enough. Stop a few times a day, look around and try to really wonder if you're dreaming. Think like "well, I think I'm awake but then again, that's what I think when I'm dreaming" and then really analyse everything around you. Then do the RC. When I was focused on doing this I would get a lot more LDs.

My dreams were very often set in school too but I started practicing lucid dreaming in the summer. So here's what I did: I just told myself before going to bed each night that if I found myself at school, I would do a reality check. It's simple but can really work!
