Thread: Rc's

RC's are reality checks, they basically help you question if you are dreaming so that when in a dream the thought might pop into your head and you find out you are dreaming.
They are quite useful.

Hope that helps

NeAvO answered your question well but I figured I'd add the link to the Reality Check Tutorial in case you're interested in checking it out.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

what NeAvO said was a good explantion.
i do four reality checks on occasion:

1. plug up your nose and continue with your regular breathing. if you can breath your obviously dreaming.

2. index finger through your palm. basically try and put your index finger through your palm and if it goes through you might be dreaming (pretty self-explanitory)

3. time check. look at an analog clock and check the time. then look away and look back at it again. did the time change? if it did. your dreaming.

4. reading check. read something and look away and look back (like with the time check). if the words have changed or there is a bunch of symbols. your dreaming

Yeah, what they said. A reality check is just what it sounds like, a way to check your reality. You can do it about any number of ways, but what Casualtie mentioned are the most common and effective ways of finding out if your dreaming. If none of those work, you may want to try and come up with a few of your own that work best for you.

ok thanks alot

I usually do the nose plugging, index finger through palm and backtracks throughout the day. The nose plugging gave me 2 lucid dreams and saved me from 2 false awakenings.
