talking about dreaming in a dream

[slash112]

well last night i became lucid. but i didnt use any RCs, no autosuggestion. but what happened was, i was walking down a street with freinds and the word "dream" somehow came up. then i said to myself, "wait a minute, im dreaming", i had no hesitation to instatly fly away, i was so sure i was dreaming. i was thinking, maybe there is a way to force a converdsation about dreaming in a dream. i mean like mak a habbit of talking about it a lot, so you will end up talking about it. i dont know how, but there is maybe room for a little thought on it.

That's basically just a form of a reality check. However, it would be easier to make a habit of looking at your hands in real life, or something along the lines of that (hands are usually weird looking in dreams, so that would indicate to you that you're dreaming). There's plenty of different RCs you can use, whatever works for you. Like you said, you could make a habit of talking about dreams in real life, I'm just saying there's easier ways to do it if you want. edit: by the way, Slash is awesome!!

I know exactly what you mean. like think about the scenarios you're often in, within dreams, find simliar scenarios in real life, and tie your lucid dreaming instincts onto those scenarios. making them trigger thoughts when you're dreaming

That is his Les Paul. His guitar is actually a transformer, it changed into that guitar before the show. This reminded me of a dream I had the other night, I was at my high school and saw a helicopter crash and explode on the softball field (it was actually a pretty cool looking explosion) and thought something about at least it's a dream helicopter, a real one crashing would be worse. I woke up like "FFFUUUUUUCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!! "

I always miss the hint when I start talking about dreams. I feel like an idiot afterwards, too.

I've talked to my friend about how I kept seeing him in my dreams (which I did) and how I always tried to remember to RC but kept forgetting. 2 nights in a row.
