100% rate of lucidty method?

**420Dreamer** · 09-09-2011 03:00 AM

Ok I have this theory that might can make you achieve lucidity atleast 90% of the time. I call it Active Reality Checks, or ARC. I've been reading and watching movies about dreaming and some of these actually came from Inception. its actually a method + some idea to improve this method lol.

1. a dream totem. you guys know what it is. make sure its truly unique. I have this bracelet that has my name on it.
2. do reality checks with it. every hour or every 30 min would be ideal.
3. when your going to sleep, think about your dream totem. every detail, what happens when you pull on it or if you try pull it off.
4. keep thinking about it, and when your drifting off. sleep. the rest should be easy.

NOW I'm certainly testing out this method but it's very hard to even go to the drifting state because your mind is so focused. The only time you can really drift off is when your mind just goes off randomly before sleeping. Now I think this is an alternative, maybe even a more secure way to become lucid. Once your in the random thoughts state and it has nothing to do with your totem, do a quick totem thought. you should feel a bit for awake, let it go back to random thoughts and do a quick totem thought again. keep doing this and i think you would force your mind into thinking about the totem each and every time you sleep.

No offence, but:
1. This is pretty much general reality checking throughout the day.
2. Why use your "dream totem?" What's so special about it. Why not normally rc?
3.This isn't reliable. I presume you just want to look down, see your braclet and then think you're not dreaming, it could be the same in a dream. Rc's that can't fail are better.
4. "thinking about it" is MILD.
Not being critical or anything, just... yeh.

There is no 100% rate of lucidity method. Most people are lucky to get a double digit success rate with any lucidity method. This method is already well known and practiced.

Yeah, this is basically reality checking but with a new reality check really. Still though, try it yourself, and see if you do in fact get more results than the rest of people on here doing the techniques in the wiki.

No you guys are not getting the whole idea. I know its part of some other method. As I posted I've read a lot about lucid dreaming and methods. I like to think of it as a scattered fragments of the same idea. But what I'm saying is your actually forcing your brain to actually do a reality check inside your dreams. That's why you need a dream totem. A unique one. You can force your brain to look at it and know whether or not your dreaming. And MY bracelet would look different. It has a range of colors and my name is written in a unique way. Which is why I stated you have to think about every detail while your sleeping. And I'm SURE everyone who's done constant RC knows that it takes more then 1 night to actually remind yourself to RC in your dreams.

Yes, but looking at your hands is a reality check. And when people do that in dreams, all of them report missing fingers or having more, and also the detail of their palms and the little lines on them were wrong or missing, or even more vivid.

There is no difference between your totem and the hand R.C.
This is nothing new, just different.

kinda reminds me of a lucid dream rock. It sometimes helps to find an object to maifest you intent to. It works like a mental crutch and puts you in a better mind set for LDing.
