Thread: How improtant is reality checking?

I also have to agree with what Lucid is talking about. There seems to be something about dreams that feel different in a way, and after several LDs you will be able to pick up on this "aura" that Lucid refers to it as. I would always call it a "vibe" that I am getting when using my senses. There is just something about your environment that doesn't feel right if it were real.

Just be patient, and use all the techniques together until you find which one is the best to focus on. The time will come

OK, cool, I'm not the only what that talks about the "dream" aura (even if you call it something different ). I just never hear people talk about it! I suppose it does depend on the person how well they are.

Maybe if RC's don't seem to work after a month or something, then RC's aren't for you? And, of course, you have to be trying to do your RC's well, and do them fairly often for what I said to be in effect.

Well, I just made up the term on the fly in order to explain the feeling to myself. Like you said, no one ever really came up with a term for it before so I did not know a term to tag it with for myself, until today! I like your term much better! mine really does not make any sense to tell you the truth, lol.

Like you said, it is weird that more people don't talk about it as well, because I am sure everyone experiences something similar.

Hey, thanks! Yup, I came up with that term at some point...months ago, I guess . Yeah, I guess people probably don't really think about their dreams as having an "aura". I bet that they're just thinking that dreams are just dreams and are weird, of course they're not reality . But like I've already said, it's not just that, you get the "feeling"- the aura. If people were to read what I say about it, though, I'm sure that can't deny it.
