Thread: Knot 'n' String Thing - (LD practice technique)

Fascinating idea, I like it! But shouldn't this be in research?

Ya! This is a great idea! I might try this as an added reality check later on.

This a great idea for reality checking. I am going to get my string now!!

Yea, it should be NN.

This is an interesting idea. I like the way that you can keep track of the number of RCs you do. When people are starting out I suggest writing them down, but this way you don't have to carry something to write with, too. This sounds the same, good for people getting (back) into it.

Might be helpful to use a cut rubber band instead of a thread. Then if you find yourself knotting more than you anticipated, you can stretch it.

K, Moved~

Moved again~ :U

I started doing this today, screwed up a knot an found it was WAY to fiddly to try and undo it lol so instead Im using a lock with 3 digits (wrote 'am i dreaming?" and "reality check' on it, so instead just pulling that out an upping the number by one whenever I think about it/reality check etc. SIMILAR but yeah!

Yo, who told you to go movin' my thread?

It's not research or science - it's a technique for others to try to attain lucidity. I'll leave a redirect in here if it still seems a bit vague as to where it should live.

Yah, try whatever counter method you feel most comfortable with. Originally, I thought about starting out with a strip of paper, then cutting slits all around it's edge where you would pull off a tab for every RC. But, that would a) leave you with something to discard, b) was a bit too delicate to keep shoved in a pocket or something.

Ideally, a simple click counter (like the ones an umpire in baseball uses to count strikes and balls) would work best. But then again, might be too simple to use in a dream. The method needs to be a bit challenging to perform if you were in a dream, else you would simply keep on counting while you're dreaming and never realize it!

Great idea! I hammer reality checks through out the day, have no re-occuring dreamsigns/themes so this might be a good help Will def follow this up.
