Thread: Motionless Reality Checks

Well, I just casually pinch my nose. Make it look like not such a big deal.

But another I would use is to close the air pipe in your throught leading to your nose and try to breath.

You probably don't know what I am talking about when I say close up the airpipe. What I mean is close up the thing that closes up when you swallow. That is the best I can explain.

Yeah the closing the air pipe in the throat really works for me. I find that I can't even close it if I'm dreaming.

I was thinking about trying that one, glad to hear it works

Yeah, gravity RC works for me, just need to stand there and feel your own body, either that or check the air, sometimes in dreams vision will be foggy or the ambient will feel heavy, so use that too sometimes. Both only need to focus on either yourself, or the place you are at.

To be honest, all it really takes is to question whether you are dreaming or not. If I was to question it, in a dream, I would notice the atmosphere is very strange. For me, a dream is quite dark/dim, colours sort of faded. Light does not change with movement, i.e. shadows don't appear, it seems as if I am inside a photograph.

My motionless RC for the last couple years now has just been to make the effort to float upwards into the air. It almost always works in the dreamworld. So if it doesn't work, I can be almost positive that I'm in reality

That doesn't always for for me. I've looked at my surroundings many times and decided they were too vivid to be a dream, only to wake up seconds later. Checking to see if my body feels heavier than usual seems to work best.

I assume they need to be invisible so your acquaintances don't notice em? I always try to explode a nearby lamp or their heads, or indeed just ask myself if it's a dream looking around 10-20 seconds into the conversation.

This one actually usually fails for me in dreams. Different for everyone, I guess, but I'd say don't make it your only one.

Yeah the trying to make your body float upwards sounds good. I might start using that one too.
