Thread: I Cannot realize I'm Dreaming

welcome! And wow... That's a bit of a problem, isn't it? No worries. There are lots of people here who can help.

Have you tried making reality checks a habit?

thanks for the welcoming =)

I glance at my hands and and push them against eachother alittle bit each day.
Thats about all for reality checks that I do, Are there better or more preductive ones?

Have you ever, out of habit, performed a reality check in dream? (just curious)

I don't think I have no, All I can remember is when I look at my hands in a dream its not for long, its maybe if just before i grab something.

sounds like a mental discipline problem, but that's just my opinion. I'm not one to talk either. I just had my first lucid dream last night, so I'm no expert.

What's your mindset usually like in dreams?

I seem to be calm in my dreams, for the most part, but lately in my dreams i feel a sadness as if i were looking for someone or something.

Another good reality check is to hold your nose and breathe in. (If you can still breathe in, you're dreaming.) Also, if you have a lot of free time and don't mind waking up at night you could try a WBTB (wake back to bed).

I know what ya mean. I have some extremely obvious dreamsigns yet I've only been able to muster 2 short semi lucids. I think we just need to keep up with our journal and get really familiar with our dreams. Plus keep up with the reality checks. Also, I've read that it takes a while for dilds/milds to happen often. Or perhaps you might want to try some other techniques? Anyway I'm no expert, but good luck!
