Make them a habit - waking and asleep. Maybe do a check every time you think of sex. If you're like me, that'll be about every ten seconds! LOL

Keep a DJ for a few days. If you look at the dream journal in my sig, im putting in a link to the Dream Signs/Tags section at the moment. It's the last post if you beat me to it.

Notice how all of my dreams have either:

Mass of brown, such as the sky, bricks, or my vision in Sepia.
Movie references
Game References
Natural Disaster
or Time References

You will do reality checks whenever you see these dream signs.

lol okay well i have a dream journal.. had 3 dreams in one night (i slept for 16 houras lol) but only patterns i foudn was that they were all things i wanted to do in real life. so hopefully ill be on pandora soon whether its lucid or not
but okay so i just start doign reality check in real life?

Dude, I went to pandora in THREE LDs last night. I now know whenever im in Pandora I'm dreaming and I go lucid. No RC or anything.

i hate you.
lol im on day 2 of dreaming and all ive doen is recall 5 dreams. i now there was another oen but i forgot to write it down

Here's my recall since I found this site on the 30th.

So you're beating me so far.

Of course, the first night was a LD and the other an "unconfirmed suspicion"

Hey Liefx, in case you didn't see it, we have two programs currently up and running that might be useful for you. There's an adoption program where you can have a more experienced member become a personal tutor. That's being phased out in favor of the Dreamviews Academy, which is under development but likely to start soon. It's much more structured and better than the adoption program!

All the best,

The whole idea behind reality checks is, you are in your dream, and you see something weird that shouldn't have happened, normally doesn't happen, or is out-right impossible.

When you see this, you do something that will tell you whether or not you are dreaming, one popular RC is trying to put your finger through the palm of the other hand, another plugging your nose and being able to breath even though your nose is plugged.

When you attempt a reality check, and it fails, you are certain you are dreaming and being lucid totally.

but my question is. how do i do these if im not in control of my dream in the first place. if im not lucid how am i to perform a lucid activity to become aware of lucidity. thats like telling me to teach myself something that i dontknow about, without any resources.

like i understand what a reality check is, just how to do it while im not in control of my dreams is the question.

The thing with reality checks is that as you do them in real life, eventually they'll become habitual and with luck that habit will cross over into your dreaming state. When something is common in your waking life, it appears in your dreams. For instance, for the time I went to school a large part of my dreams took place in school. Now that I work at McDonalds, they're starting to happen more and more in that place. So as you RC more in waking life, they'll become so common that you'll start doing it in your dreams and voila, you're lucid.

This is pretty much subconscious. You are LIGHTLY conscious when you are in a dream. Just enough to remember it, I guess. If you see something weird, it will be innate knowledge to reality check.

ahhh pkay that makes more sense now. so is there a section on good reality checks?

Just check the attaining lucidity and induction techniques forums.

I do too. I've played the game demo 100 times until I can get the real thing. It's actually a good game.
