Thread: RTs aren't working. My dreams want to keep me guessing.

When you do a RT in your dream don't rely on things like writings on the hand. If I'm doubtful I always try to fly and that works pretty good. Otherwise read something, look away and then read it again, it really works, in my dreams the letters always changed. But hey it's not unusual to be deceived in case of a false awakening. I failed several times in my dreams before I recognized it and am often still failing to get the correct result out of a reality test. It's normal. Just be more stubborn in your dreams.

Best RC possible: LED clocks and stuff. LED digits.
(at least for me) they change sizes, fonts, colors, numbers and positions!
It's enought o make you lucid even in the most bizzare dream!

ok, thanks. i don't know why i'm not using my cheesy lcd bart simpson watch in my dreams, it is what i use to check most often. guess i'll have to wait for asleep me to figure that out. 8)

The best thing to do is to use more than one RC. That way if one fails, you can confirm that with the others.

However, there are times when your subconcious is really stubborn and you still won't realize you are dreaming.

RT's may be difficult to execute at times. It's just so hard to think when you're on the lucid dream/regular dream borderline.

I believe the only stable reality test is a memory test. think about how you got where you are, when you fell asleep last, and if you remember waking up. I think that's the only reality test that is foolproof.
