Thread: RCs? Any good ideas?

You can imagine whatever you want, what I do is visualize a portal in the palm of my hand and push my fingers trough(You dont need to visualize but I rather do it)

most commons are:
-Nose pinch(pinch it you should be able to breathe) *This one never fails*
-fingers trough palm
-pinching(does not work for me)
-looking at text
-jumping(you will fly if you believe, if not you will kind of glide down)

All reality checks are odd to do at public so choose the most appealing to you.

Its also important not just to do them, but to think about them. For example if you just try to push your finger through your palm, but u dont think about it (ex. It didnt go through my hand, oh no wait it did go through my hand,) you might ignore the fact your finger just went through your palm, because in a dream everything seems normal when you first start out LDing (i would know, like last night i fell off a 20 ft net onto pavment and didnt feel a thing, but i didnt notice the fact that i just fell 20 ft and felt no pain)

You don't have to limit yourself when and how and why you do RC. Best is to use all possible reasons to better your chance that some of them will work.

1. Use an activity reminder - something you do often
- walking through doors
- using restroom
- noticing specific color
- get a phone call
- get a drink
- and anything else you can think of

2. Use a physical reminder - audio or visual
- set your watch to beep every hour
- set your timer
- put some sticky notes all over your place, school books, laptop, door frame, wall above you bed, first thing you see in the morning
- put a rubber band or bracelet on your wrist
- and whatever else you can

All these are just to help you get into habit of RCing. Pretty soon you will find, that you will start RCing even without them. And that's the best way to do it. Spontaneously. Whenever the feeling "OMG, what if this is a dream" strikes you.

3. Dream signs - anything, that occurs often in your dreams AND in your waking life.
You RC on these in WL every time you see it. Then, when they show up in your dream, you are likely to RC there as well.

4. When you notice something strange. It can be strange for real or you just pretend it is. Let's face it, our lives are not that strange, so we have to make up some stuff.
- a classmate shows up when you know he is at home sick
- you thought you still had some beer in your fridge but it's all gone
- it's lunch time, you should be hungry, but you not
- boy/girl that has been ignoring you is suddenly talking to you
- you see or hear anything and you think to yourself "that's strange"

5. At random
-every time you get the sinking/exciting/freeky/exhilarating feeling n your stomach, that what if this was a dream and you didn't notice


Just remember, RC by itself doesn't get you lucid, it only confirms.

Awareness does. The awareness question "what if this is a dream". And being aware of your surroundings, noticing details, changes, patterns, constantly questioning and knowing where you are, how you got there and what you were doing before. Walking through your life as if you were in some video game, where anything can jump out at you at any moment and if you don't notice where you walk, you will miss some cool pickups. Be alert!
