Thread: Why not?

What I find helpful is to determine what you want to do in your up coming dreaming sessions two hours before sleeping. While I haven't extensively tried this, I have noticed that generally whatever I do two hours prior to sleeping appears in my dreams. By the way, it takes a LONG time to carry thoughts into your dreams. I mean, not for everyone, but I think most people will agree that it takes a long time. When I first started lucid dreaming it was easier for me to input info that I wanted to happen in my dreams.

But what I suggest is doing something involving dreaming two hours prior to laying down. Read about it. Check the forums, make a song about it, write it down, talk about it, plan it out, and do lots of RCs.

I too will work on this more and tell you the results later, if you'd like. Hope this helps.

That would help and thank you.

Do you only do reality checks before you go to bed? Associating reality checks with dreams signs is a really good idea, along with doing them on a schedule of sorts, so you're doing multiple ones a day.

You should do more Reality Checks throughout the day, instead of just doing them before you go to bed.

If you're keeping a Dream Journal, try finding your dreamsign and RC to that in real life.

Just keep the RCing and sooner or later it'll pass over to your dreams.

I do RC all day, I even do it to the point where it gets tiring. It used to pass over into my dreams but now not anymore? I think it's because I'm usually at home.

Make sure you don't just do RCs, but you really question reality. Even if you do RCs in a dream, if you're just doing it habitually, it would give false positives. 2 nights ago, I did the hands and nose RC. I had normal hands, and couldn't breath with nose closed. That's because I didn't actually ask myself "Is this a dream?"

Just a word of advice.

Thanks conkt I can see how that would help
