RC?

I need help! i can't decide on an RC to Stick with

i have hate a Black Sarpie & on my hand will this work?

I also herd about pinching your nose?

I'm not sure what a black sarpie is...:| The nose pinch rc though is where you plug your nose to check if you're dreaming or not. If you can't breathe through it, the test passes and you know you're in reality. If you can breathe through your nose, the reality check fails and you know you're dreaming.

I'm pretty sure you can practice as many reality checks as you want. To find one to actually stick with, you might need more experience in dreams with it. Like in a dream you might do a hand check, but your hand will appear normal. You could do the nose pinch and come up with a illogical reason for why you can breathe through your nose. I'm not saying these will happen, but it's possible for one rc to be better for an individual than another.

In case you haven't already, read through this tutorial closely: Reality Check Tutorial - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource

Some of the best ones to use is to see if your hands are looking normal, pinching your nose and seeing if you can breathe, and trying to remember what happened before you got to where you are now (dreams sometimes start in media res, so if you last remember going to bed before you got on your motorcycle that looks like a nipple, you're dreaming). And of course, trying to control your dream works.

You don't have to stick to any single reality check. As long as you are always really thinking and analyzing your state of mind, you can mix it up. I like to count my fingers, check my recent memories to see if they make sense, and read anything that is nearby.

Oh Thanks alot guys! i never understood the pinching your nose RC! and My personal RC is a black "7" i have drawn on my hand the past couple of days. it Is basically the same as looking at my hands. BUT thanks so much!!!

Maybe try the finger through the palm one.. That one is quite effective..
Just try sticking your finger through your palm of your other hand, actually believe that you can do it.
If you can, YOUR DREAMING! If you cant, then your in reality.
Try making it a habit, every time you walk through a doorway, do it.
Then you should probably end up doing it in your dream, Or if you become lucid, it can be used to ground yourself into dream world by proving to yourself that you really are dreaming..
