Man I am so TOUCHABLY close to this!!

[fautzo]

So i've been trying to lucid dream for about a week, and have noticed HUGE progress, and so that I remember to do a reality check, I usually do something ridiculous during the day, and I always end up dreaming about it. However, every time I do the reality check, or am about to, i either go blank, or switch to another dream in the same sitting, and have had up to 12 dreams in one sitting, and only remembered two! Is this progress, or what? Because i have had 3 night's sleep when i have done this. My signature reality check is jumping, because i'm a hyper guy, and I do that quite a bit anyways during the day. I also write in my dream log every day, and CONSTANTLY do reality checks.

Jumping? That actually works as a RC? But yeah, just keep at it. you'll get it

[Conzo]

Maybe the jumping is the problem? How would jumping confirm you are dreaming? Maybe next time you should try something different like plugging your nose and trying to breathe in or try counting your fingers.

[fautzo]

cuz according to wikianswers you jump WAY HIGH or fly in a dream

[Conzo]

Well if it works in realizing you're dreaming, that's cool. Like OldSparta said, with practice, it should eventually work

[Strawberry Canvas]

That happens to me all the time in my LD's. I jump then completely lose control and shoot up like a rocket. It kinda sucks...

[fautzo]

oh maybe it's not a good reality check? Still, why do I always go blank?

[J.D.]

If you think you're awake when you test reality by jumping, you might find that gravity behaves exactly like you expect it to, and you come back down to earth as normal. Like Conzo suggested, you might be better to try a more reliable one. My favourite is the hand. You can do it in public and not look like you've just snorted something. As for going blank, I have no idea. Keep trying and eventually you'll stay where you are and become lucid. Otherwise, get into the habit of RC-ing every time you see a major change in scenery in real life. Say every time you wake up, go outside/inside, drive somewhere different etc. It might carry over to your dream and you'll RC wherever you end up.
