Thread: Reality Checks

I know the basic idea behind this but how do you get into the mind set? like say i was to pinch my nose and check if i can breathe would i just do that every hour during the day, and hopefully it follows into my dreams?

Whats the other basic check you can do during the day which are easy and very effective, how often would you do the checks etc?

Like last night i dreamed i was singing a Sclub7 song whilst riding on a water slide, lol surely i would have known that was a dream right? But it never crossed my mind i could have been a elephant with 10 legs and i wouldnt butt a eyelid!

There is a tutorial about reality checks, you should read for more basic reality checks.
About when to do them... best probably when you see your dreamsigns. But the two lucid's I've had now weren't induced by RC's but just realizing it was a dream, but after that I did reality checks to confirm it, but never got to finish those though because I woke up:/

good advice shift, i never really do alot of mental rc`s i need to do more thats why they dont make it to my dreams

Yup, that's the most important part. Technically you shouldn't even have to do a physical action, but they're flatout proof if they work. The mental awareness and skepticism of your environment are critical, at least for me. I've done reality checks so many times in dreams just sort of "oh hmm I might be dreaming" *push finger into hand* "Oh look a flying goldfish....." just because I'm not really focusing on that awareness aspect. Just keep trying, and always make sure to really stop and heavily question what's going on. Hope it does help

Yep thats me

I try not to do rc's only when strange things happen, because the strange things that happen to me in dreams seem completely normal. I don't try and do them every single hour, I just do them at random times and think alot during the day "I wonder if I'm dreaming..."

The two rc's I've always used are holding your nose then breathing through it and checking the time on the clock, turning, then checking it again. They've always worked for me
