Thread: why do RC sometimes fail

My last lucid dream a RC failed...I had a dream after my LD and I usually wake up after my Ld so my subconcious was made me think I was awake because I usually am after a LD.


If the made sense at all...xD

Also it's good to be able to get in the habit of just 'feeling' that it's a dream.. recognising that 'light' feeling... earlier on today I was convinced I was dreaming, but an RC failed (had 5 fingers!).. but I was so convinced, I just thought.. screw this, and went ahead with my LD!

I've had three RC's in a row fail. Just don't do anything irreversible, like jumping off of a balcony, but if you think that you're probably dreaming--you're dreaming!

It's annoying how the mind can convince you otherwise, I know.

lol, i did something like that once! my friend Jenn knew i did LDing and i told her about RC's, and one day she was messing around and acting so strange, i was sure I was in a dream. so positive, I did something really stupid. in one of my earlier dreams i remembered i had been able to run through a bus, so since we were about to get on ours, and i was super convinced it was a dream, i sprinted as fast as i could into the side of my bus.

That`s exactly what i fear to happen!!! Imagine you jump out of a window believing you`r dreaming

I think I had an RC fail last night. Maybe I was lucid for a little while and lsot it but i had a very vivid dream after that 'vague' RC.

I told one of my friends about the RC not working and she said that maybe it was because, like sleepwalking or something, I was actually plugging my nose in real life as well as in the dream. Of course that theory could only work with the nose RC. any thoughts?
