Oh, look at this, a tutorial made by the Dream Guide team on Reality Checking. It seems to contradict the whole key point to your technique. |

For some reason I can't edit my replies.... so I'll just make new ones... |

That's why THIS thread is interesting!!! I tried RCing that focus on Quality a million times- and it NEVER works (for me at least)!!! |
|
Well, I started this yesterday. I must have done a grand total of 10-20 RC's, along with every time I woke up. I woke up in one of my dreams and knew something was up (though I thought I was supposed to be sleeping downstairs, and I wasn't even in my house). I looked at my watch. It first said 10:40. As I turned it to look away, I saw it "glitch" like in the Matrix. I stared at it, commanding it to move, and it did. Bada-bing, bada-boom. First lucid on my first try with only 20 RC's. And you want to know the even weirder part? I haven't had a lucid in almost a month until last night. |
|
I plan on it. Instead of swamping your subconscious with habits such as Reality Checking, you need to find key times to do it. For instance, when you wake up (I did read that you were supposed to RC when you wake up because of possible FA's, so that may have influenced the dream). Either way, when you wake up, when you question something, when you're having trouble understanding or following what's going on, and whenever you think about dreaming. Otherwise, it becomes more of a subconscious habit that doesn't help much. |
|
I had another LD last night. It was an RC induced lucid FA. In layman's terms, I did a reality check, and found out it was a false awakening. For the second night in a row. |
|
Well, I tried a WILD last night, and I don't remember if this was before or after the WILD, so I won't count it. Either way, I wanted to include it. One of the reasons I think it may have been from the WILD was that it seems I was almost thrust into the dream. The first thing I remember is being in a vent shaft with some woman who is yelling at me. She's trying to get me to hurry up, possibly to go and save something. I suddenly realize this is all very strange and glance at my watch. I'm dreaming. But, for some reason, I decided the task at hand was more important and went on my way. I quickly lost lucidity and then woke up. |

Lol |
|
OK ----- RESULTS : |
|
Well, I tried for ten days and got two DILD's directly related to the method. Nothing else significant. I fail to see how an RC would give you better dream recall and more HI's, though. |
|
Every 5 min. (not oniman7 though, he did the usual way...) |
|
Hi thread! I see you're dead |
|
I'll probably try it in a couple of days, will be hard with my 1-2 minute RC's and the fact that I go to school though |
|
Auto-suggestion > RCs. RCs are not always reliable, it's a pain and a hassle to keep up all day every day, and when you use auto-suggestion, the feeling and knowledge that you're dreaming comes up naturally and you don't need to RC. |
|
DILDs: A Lot
I try to do rcs about every 30 min but during school i just dont remember |
|
seeimg as though i dont remember to do anything i set my phone to remind me every 5 min starting tomorrow after i get out of school. i'll just have to remember to do them during school by myself. |
|
Nearly all my LDs were a result of me remembering to do an RC whilst in a dream. Other than that I've only become lucid Spontaniously, seemingly without reason. |

Luminous Spacious Dream Masters That Holographically Communicate
among other teachers taught me
not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
Again, I don't think it's the RC itself, but rather the utilizing of a special kind of memory. Hence the improvement in WILDs and not DILDs... |
|
i wear a bracelet on my arm everday so would a good RC be to read the words on it, look away, then read it again. |
