Thread: Reality Checks - RCs

gab, this helped me out immensely so far.

I've already gotten into a semi lucid state thanks to practicing these reality checks. I'm doing close to 5-10 a day while doing stories, and this is my 4th day doing them.

The cool part about being a reporter is that there tons of situations I find myself in where I question whether or not I'm dreaming. -Which helps me out a lot.

This is specifically why I make an effort to get out and about (I currently work from home), because having a variety of experiences in different places with different mixes of people while doing LD techniques I think best simulates the dream scenario (as opposed to always being in the same place, which for me is very undreamlike).

Hi,

Would it also work if you did reality-checks whenever you think of a dream sign or oddity? I mean, if certain triggers do not appear enough in reality for you to develop a good habit of reality-checking to them, could you just ‘think’ them instead, or pretend they’re happening?

Thanks

Yes, and as noted on another thread now active, you don't need to "fake" dream signs. Just imagine that wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you could be dreaming right now! Do an RC, look around, check things out, read a few signs, check memory, etc. Do this often enough and LD frequently should really pick up after some time (time for everyone is different: could be weeks / months even, don't give up! It will eventually start to really kick in).
