Thread: Reality Checks - RCs

I have discovered, that for me, switching up my RCs helps. I don't know if my mind gets bored with same RCs after a while, or I just get so used to them, I don't really pay attention when RCing. So after a good run with certain RCs, I like to invent a new one. The more exciting and fun it is, better the likelyhood, that my mind will pay attention and "play along" with me.

Did anybody experience that? RCing more in dreams after switching to new RC?

I agree switching to new RCs helps to keep and rebuild enthusiam, which plays a crucial role in RCs. I am not sure that keeping the same RC is something so desirable, because not only enthusiam may decline but also because it is the awareness habit that, perhaps, is more important and not the kind of RC itself. Indeed many people complain that they never RC in the dream, but that somehow it helps and they get lucid.

And, keeping the same reasoning in the last post, one can switch to new RCs according to one´s recent dream signs, as i did with my jump/ flying RC. By doing so, i guess i am telling my subconscious mind that i can only fly in my dreams. So, even if i don´t remember to RC in my next dreams, i may see my DS and recognize « hey, my RC is working, i am dreaming».

So, in general, if one is having a recurrent dream sign ( a dream sign is always recurrent ! ) it makes perfect sense to use it to RC and think about IWL.
