Thread: RCs didnt work...

Hi Guys,

I didn't want to start a 'new' thread on the same topic so I thought I would share my experience from this morning:

In my short dream I had recognised a dreamsign, then gone outside noticing the bright sunlight and warmth on my face which made me start to question if this was a 'dream'. In the back garden in this dream I too tried the two same RC checks (and in the same order) as the OP, where the checks indicated that I wasn't dreaming, (e.g. exactly the same result as if you were doing the checks in reality.) However In my head I knew I was dreaming. I couldn't believe how 'real' the dream was. This got me frustrated. Due to this inconsistency between the RC results and me still knowing they were wrong in regard to it being a dream woke me up just after.

In my case, during the waking day I do try to get into trying the odd RC (like the two examples beforehand) but I wouldn't say that I did them 'mindlessly'. However the only reason I think that I had this inconsistency is that doing RC techniques is relatively new to me, as I have always relied on just noticing something 'odd' in the dream to tell me, if you see what I mean.
One of my techniques is general 'awareness' in the waking world - using observation, then questioning this in my head.

In regard's to the OP's experience is that you mind can play funny little tricks on you. Athough you didn't realise it was a dream you must give credit to yourself that you subconsciously did the checks in the first place.

Happy Easter!
