Thread: *Sigh* Help is what I need

Hmm... I geuss this is where I have a little discrepency with some of the other RC opinons.

(Although I do agree on RCing upon waking up, an electronic device doesn't work, experience deja' vu, or you can't read.) I would definitly suggest against doing an RC whenver you think of it. I'm with Billybob on this one. I would say...

Do a reality check only when you see something that makes you wonder if your dreaming at that moment.

You should reality check only as often as you notice things around you that seem out of place. Theres no set amount of reality checks that should be performed daily.

But there are varying opinons on this topic so I suppose pick the idea which suites you best.

HOWEVER the constant RC thing (40 a day didn't you say?) doesn't seem to be working for you...

If you agree with my view on RCs, (the constant RC thing never worked for me,) I would say that something which makes you do a double take. For example, the shampoo bottle thing might cause you to make a second glance. That obviously seemed a little out of place to you.

Well, that's my suggestion at any rate.

When I do my RC's (they haven't become a habit yet. I'm really trying to do it so eventually, I don't even really have to remind myself) I always think hard about whether or not I'm dreaming.
You know, I find weird things on the internet or on TV that I want to do but I usually never do it because of money/time problems. I don't really have the money to learn to fly a small airplane, jump out of it, and then get back in the plane as I'm falling. With LD's, though, I feel like I can attain it. Frankly, I think it's cooler to LD than to skydive. If I wanted to, I could skydive in my dream.

-etc etc etc.

The bolds will really help me. Before, I was just doing RCs every time I remembered and whenever I looked at a clock or something I'd double check it. I say "what" to myself quite a bit. I don't think the one about hearing/thinking about lucid dreaming would help me, because I'd do it quite a bit. I figure that until I'm actually able to do it, that's all that's going to be on my mind.

Thanks for your guys' help Sorry if I post to much, I feel awkward doing it.
