Yes. Just a few nights ago the hand RC failed me. It hadn't done that before then. >.> |

Hey all, I had my 4th lucid last night, the problem was I had false awakening. However I did a reality check and became lucid again, however just to double check I was lucid (false awakening was weird) I pinched my nose and blew but it happened as it would awake (couldn't blow), then I thought to check my hands but they were normal too. So I checked them again still normal, at this point my mind automatically assumed I must be awake (even though my room was as it was about 2years ago *face palms*) and I lost my lucidity. |

Yes, I had an RC fail recently when it could have been very awesome. |
|
Yep. RC failed me about a week ago. It was even after I noticed my dream sign. Damn. |

Last Lucid: July 15, 2011
Current Lucid Goal: Summon a Dragon
Haven't failed one yet :[ |

Lucid dreams, gotta love em.
Yes I've had the EXACT same thing happen. Both the nose pinch and the hand test failed me when my brain finally learned to simulate them both. This happened in February and is all recorded in my dream journal at post #51. |

Question about the digital numbers thing: do the numbers have to be electronic, or would a long, random list of unmemorizable numbers (phone numbers, perhaps), do the trick? Since the goal is to look for number and/or letter mutations, would a fixed list keep mutating in your dreams (provided you didn't memorize the darn thing?) |
|
A long list of numbers written on a piece of paper would indeed be a reliable reality test. You don't need a digital watch, although a digital watch has the advantage of being readily accessible to view as it's right there on your wrist at all times. But figures on a piece of paper will also change in the same way electronic numbers change. |

The finger through the hand RC has always failed me. The looking at the hand RC started failing me so I stopped doing it. The text RC has failed me once, but I don't regularly use it anyway. the pinch/bite your tongue RC I've only used as a secondary check, but it seems reliable as that. The nose RC has been my most reliable one. The first time I used it I blew out and it failed, but every time since then I have breathed in and it's worked. |

It's good to know that I'm not alone, with the way a lot of people swear by RC's it kinda gave me the impression they're always successful, it never really occurred to me that I could simulate things that well in my dreams lol |
