What's up, Lodestone? Welcome to DV. |

Hi everyone, I'm very new to the whole lucid dreaming thing, but I've been hitting the dream recall and reality check stuff pretty hard for about a week or two. I've gotten to the point where I can remember at least one dream every night, sometimes up to 3 or 4. Last night I had a dream where I was telling all my friends about lucid dreaming! I was surprised when I woke up that it hadn't triggered me questioning whether or not it was a dream in the dream. but I thought maybe it might be a small step in the right direction ....? what do you experts think? any tips? any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Also during the day make it a habbit to do RC's (reality checks). Ask yourself, "am i dreaming?" and then perform whatever reality check you choose, whether its plugging your nose, and tryin to breathe in through your nose, (if you're dreaming, you'll be able to breathe), or trying to stick your finger through the palm of your other hand. Do it every time you walk through a doorway, or every time you look at a clock, do the clock RC technique. Make it so its a habbit, and so when youre in a dream, if you go through a doorway, or look at a clock, chances of it triggering an RC are more likely. |

Yup, my last two lucids (within the last two weeks or so) have been because of this method, and I've used it enough times in the past to know it works for me. |

should i keep my wrist limp or should i try to keep that up too. i just tried it sitting here to balance my elbow, but with my wrist "tense" i feel like i'm using too many muscles, but when it is limp its pretty hard to balance. |

Hmmm. Now that I think about it, (just tried it on the desk. I've never paid any attention to it before) my hand just kinda "sits there" when I let it rest with my wrist straight up, fingers curled and relzxed. The only strain you should feel at all should probably been on your elbow alone, as the rest of your joints kinda sit on each other, when your forearm is straight up. |

Hey that might actually work. Though I wonder what its like to close your eyes -.-..... be awake then your body sleeps while you are aware. |

Last night I actually realized I was in a dream during the dream! I was sitting there talking to three of my friends and I realized it was a dream when I noticed I was holding a really expensive video camera that there is no way I could ever afford to own. I did a RC (plug nose and breathe) and it worked! I was so excited i woke up about 2 seconds later. is there anything I can do to stay asleep? |
