I had a weird moment the other day when I was at Walmart. I saw a stand that appeared to be woman's underwear. The stand, was placed in a plastic kids pool. And scattered about the bottom of the pool were frisbees. I was looking at it very confused thinking how strange a display that was and why the heck would they do that. Then thinking that it was was just wacky enough that it might be something I might see if I was in a dream shopping. So decided to do the RC. |

So far I only have a very mundane example which happened yesterday. I was folding laundry and realized I was folding a pair of pants I had just seen in the other room. I thought for a moment I might be dreaming so I did a couple of RCs - pinching nose while attempting to breathe through my nostrils and checking my digital watch. It turned out the other pair of pants just looked more similar in design and material than I realized haha. |

I was just making something to eat in my kitchen and saw movement out of the corner of my eye. I looked and saw a frog hopping across my kitchen floor. How the heck did that thing get in my kitchen? I remembered to RC. A couple of times. |

So the thread already helped me a little. Here is what happened while working on WILDing last night. This was after enjoying a few other moments of lucid HI. Before falling completely to sleep. |

I decided to take a walk downtown near where I live from my apartment. As I was walking I saw an animal on top of a truck. From afar I wasn't sure what it was. For a moment I thought maybe it was a deer that someone had shot or hit and killed and had then tied it to the top of their vehicle (it wouldn't be the first time I've seen that). As I got closer I realized it was a dog sleeping on top of the cab of a large pickup truck. It fit well with my daily prospective memory training as one of my four targets was to do an RC the next time I see a dog! It did make me pause for a moment and wonder a little more meaningfully whether or not I was dreaming. |

That's awesome that you had some good lucid time from doing an RC, lenscaper. Starting yesterday I've been trying to incorporate more moments of daytime awareness throughout the day. I have been doing RCs for a good month again now. I feel like they help, but too much of the same thing can start to feel stale. Maybe adding more awareness will help. |

I used to feel as Lenscaper, not doing the standard ones much. But I totally recommend training yourself to do them. No doubt you will have more lucid dreams because of doing them. I know I have had many I would not have had without the RC. It's not often that you do them completely randomly in dreams, though it can happen. But there are often times when you decide to do one, convinced that you are not dreaming but doing the RC anyways. And then being completely shocked to find out you are dreaming. And I've had humorous moments not even believing what the RC is telling me but wanting to, doing them over and over and different ones until I finally convince myself it really is a dream. |

That's very true. The last lucid I had actually happened because of an RC. I was looking at my two cats walking to their water bowl and one of them looked like her hair was wet. I thought it was strange and a suspicion that I was dreaming began to grow. I did the nose plug RC and I was dreaming! It was pretty cool. I then walked up to a painting in my apartment and put my hands and head through. |

Wow good one. Nice one on noticing that and remembering to RC. |

Thanks, Caradon. I'm a little surprised I remembered to RC in that instance with my wet cat. The other night I had a dream where I was talking to a girl when I looked down at myself. First I noticed I was wearing a zip-up sweater of mine but it was not zipped and I was wearing no undershirt. Looking further down I realized I was wearing strange looking tighter khaki pants and they were fastened completely backward. Finally, I look down at my feet and see I'm wearing one tennis shoe and one high heel! I was mortified during the dream wondering why I'm out in public dressed this way. I woke up and could have slapped myself for not getting lucid from this screaming dream sign haha. I literally LOLd at it. |

I'm going to give that a try. It seems like a reliable RC what from I'm hearing. I had three LDs in one night the other night, but didn't think to try it! It could have been a fluke as I only recalled two non-LDs this morning. I'm still glad I had them, though. |

Wow three in one night, awesome! It took me a while to remember to start looking at my watch too. But doing that is what finally got me to remember to look at it when I really needed to for a real RC. Yeah it's very strange how things pop up like that from our dreams. And sometimes you see something that triggers recall of the dream you had forgotten about, until you see something that is similar to what was in the dream. |

Since my recent finger through my palm event I have made daytime RC's a much bigger part of my training. This past weekend I took a walk on the woods paths nearby with the express intent to look for RC moments.......I see now that once we establish a stronger general focused awareness during the day, odd things start to pop up....just as in the dream. |

Nice. I always see odd things hanging off trees along the trail too. |

Good note. |

I just found out last night that a lady I've been working with for a few years now is a paranormal investigator. And she told me the name of her organization. I looked it up and sure as shit, I saw her photo along with the rest of the team she works with. Investigating hauntings locally and all over the world. She told me that she actually knows the guys from the Ghost Hunter show on TV. |

I was just thinking I had better clarify that this thread is not intended to be used as a debate for or against the supernatural by fanatics either for or against. It's fine to comment on a persons reality check experience. But please, if you are thinking about posting here preaching because of my last post please don't, take it to beyond dreaming instead. |

Hm, the crane situation does sound quite bizarre. I wonder why it was lifted so high. Definitely a good time to check on whether or not you're dreaming! The one with two guys and a bucket is odd too. I'm not sure what they'd be up to as I've never heard of or have what you described happening. |

One RC I try to do is if I miss dial on my phone more than once. A couple nights ago I misdialed about 10 times, and even thought "this usually happens in a lucid dream". But of course I was "sure" I was awake, and didn't do an RC and missed that I was actually dreaming. |

I was walking by a high school earlier today and noticed that eight white cars were all parked together in a single row. They were all different types of cars, but each one was white. No cars of any other color were parked between any of them. What are the odds of that? |

Yesterday while walking into my bathroom, the first light on the ceiling shuts off as I'm walking underneath it. When I make it to the sink the light pops back on. I thought to myself, that's strange. As I'm finishing up a shave I start to walk out of the bathroom. As I begin to move the light shuts off again once I'm close. I did an RC at this as I've become lucid before by noticing the lights in dreams being off from waking life. Nothing too crazy, but it did make me really wonder what state I was in for a moment. |
