Thread: An Opposite Technique

This may have been mentioned before, but my "reality check" is quite the opposite of most people. Instead of constantly doing reality checks in the real world, I never do them.

For some reason, when I'm dreaming I usually think "am I dreaming" and I know as soon as I do I must be because I never question it in the real world.

You're fortunate in that you usually question yourself when you're dreaming (most don't).

Same goes for me, once I get the thought that I'm in a dream, that's when lucidity comes in. I'd prefer things that way instead of performing RC in real life

I only perform an RC in real life if I see something really weird, Ive tried doing RCs periodically but I just don't do them in my dreams

I do RCs if I notice something strange, or I recognise something that is common for me in dreams. Hopefully, if this becomes habit I will notice that in my dreams and realise I'm dreaming.

Same here. I don't think of it as opposite though. More as, I notice the dream state. It feels different from real life.
