I'm almost there, but i need 1 more thing

Hello,

I would like to thank everyone so far for helping me with my questions in past week, so far my dream recall has increased(it was before 0 last week) took some of your advice, i can now remember my dreams and there more vivid then BEFORE!! :banana:

But... Theres one thing thats stoping me now and NOW i need YOUR ADVICE! So far i been having very vivid dreams, but it seems i keep forgetting to do a RC, i don't remember to do that untill i WAKE UP! Nor do my dream sighs help, since i don't see them :embarrassed:

So this is what i need... WHEN I'M DREAMING AND ITS VIVID, HOW DO I REMEMBER TO DO RC????

You must first be doing RCs during the day. Regularly. It may take some time for your waking life habits to cross over to the dream world, but if you are faithful during the day, it will happen at night. Also, when you RC during the day, be sure you are asking yourself if you're dreaming. Do not simply answer with, "No, I'm not" otherwise that will be your answer in the dream world, too! Instead, take a moment to examine your surroundings. Look for dreamsigns in the day. All these things should help in performing them at night in your dreams. If you are already doing these things, keep doing them. It will come soon.

When i do RC, do i do it randomly everyday? or do i do it like 3 times a day or what?

Most people recommend to do it every time you see something that you see a lot in dreams. That's a lot of RC's though if you see that a lot. I just do them randomly, but haven't had a LD yet, so maybe it's not working, then again I've been trying for 5 days :shock:

Here try the my version of the VILD. Technique.
heres what I do.

1. Watch tv listen to music get your mind calm
2. Lay down, Relax
3. Concentrate Your mind on what you want to do in your dream
4. Try a picture a scene with things like RC written on a wall
5. keep focusing on it for about 10 min
6. By then IM usually asleep and in my scene

Now that your in your scene, you will probably see the things saying Rc and stuff written on the walls and maybe it will help you remember to perform a reality check.

wow, thanks dude, now that seems it will WORK!

if i can see a dragon i be like WHOA! I AM DREAMING :P

I got into the simple habit of checking the time twice every time I check. This is several time a day, but doing it isnt any hassle if you get into the habit. Then in a dream, you check the time and notice it changes, or something is wrong. I do is wih my phone and it tends to have "time" written on it instead of the time. A far as dreamsigns go that's the one I've most picked up on.

If you are VILDing, why would you need to reality check? You're already lucid.

I dont know. Most of the tutorials Ive read said to do that. But its worked for me two times? so eh? whatever works is fine :P
