Hello all!
(I'm coming up on my 2 weeks, hint hint!)

Anyway, I have been getting a lot better with remembering to do Consistent Reality Checks. I know they help b/c I finally had a dream where I used one (recognized a dreamsign).
Anyway, I wanted to share an experience yesterday; I think I have found MY Ultimate RC!
First off, I live and work 99% of my life on the water; and MOST of my dreams have to do with water (the sea, ocean, lakes etc; major dreamsign for me)

After work, if I still have sunlight, I take a leisurely walk to the beach and go for about an hours run. The beaches here in most parts of Louisiana are flanked by swamps/marshes and cow pastures; there are NO homes built along the beach except in a very few areas. My beach is virgin, so I get to see a lot of seashells, driftwood, as well as washed up dolphin, sea turtles, huge fish, etc.
I use these as a signal to do an RC when I happen upon them, then I continue my trot.

Yesterday, I happened upon a dolphin that I had been passing for the last week, and a sea turtle who washed ashore 2 days ago.

At the Very end of my run, I noticed I was coming up on something new that has washed up. It was an alligator, about a 7 footer, (small to ave for here; remember I live in the marshes/swamps) This little guy I noticed had been recently washed-up, as his feet and parts of his legs were buried in the sand.
I stooped over him and said "Oh, you poor little guy!" and then put my foot on his back to see how long he'd been dead (he looked like a very recent wash-up)

Just as I put my foot on his back and rocked him, I laughed and did my RC.

I learned TWO things Instantly:
1. THIS WAS NOT A DREAM, as Mr. Alligator was NOT dead, but WELL Alive! (as he coiled and showed me each and every one of his pearly whites!)
and
2. I obviously was NOT That tired after my hour's run as I had thought!

Hahahaha
Then I proceeded home to change my shorts!

ok, just wanted to share this one.

Am interested in anyone else's RC experiences? Even if they are still in Waking life...

I had another RC not much different, and it came for a visit in my dreams that night!

Hang Lucid, Dreamers,
