Hi! I was curious, how often do you do your reality checks? Also one thing I learned the hard way, remember if reality check fails that does not mean it is not a dream: I once had a dream in which I realized that what Was happening could not be real, but my finger would not go through my palm so I decided that therefore I was not dreaming, so I decided I must have gone completely and utterly mad. Lol. That was a scary dream to live through as I encountered more and more impossible scary stuff. |

Hey rafaelinio. I agree with JoannaB and you about how expectation is key. You're right about the RCs; it is more helpful to believe you are in a dream and your RC will work. I've had many dreams in which I do the finger through palm RC and find my finger not go through, or the nose plug and I find myself not able to breath though. It's frustrating since my LD count could be much higher. I figured doing the RCs effectively in waking life will help. But it is even better to do double RCs at once (incase if a RC doesn't work in a dream, do another back up RC). And instead of doing RCs 5-7 times a day, I would recommend doing it much more. I know skilled lucid dreamers do at least 30 RCs a day (and I'm also starting to increase my RCs during day). You don't have to do it that many times, but the more often you do RCs, the more likely you'll do them in your dreams and become lucid. And I wouldn't exactly recommend FILD because FILD can sometimes be complicated and many beginners try it and aren't really successful with it. You can keep trying FILD to see what other experiences you have with it (possibly luckily induce a LD), but I would definitely recommend DILD or MILD. Hopefully you'll progress, and good luck! |

Congrats on the ld! |

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
