Thread: What's your most effective RC?

I'm doing a tiny little research thing, but not big enough to warrant posting in the research forum.

Tell me about your most effective RC. One that when you do it, you know you're lucid. For me, it's the nose plug. Every time i've plugged my nose in a dream, i can breathe and i get lucid. It's a no-fail for me, as other RCs have failed -- mainly, looking at my hands, counting my fingers (they look just fine) and trying to poke my finger through my hand (doesn't work).

Also, do you have an RC only you do? Maybe one you haven't shared, or one you've modified to fit your personal self?

Memory. I remember where have been in the recent minutes, if I can't remember or if it's really strange then I know that I'm dreaming.

If I am in the house i grew up in.

Counting my fingers. (rarely fails)

I always seem to use that reality check first even if i am using other reality checks at the moment.

I also do the nose plug RC.

nose plug, quick, easy, works every time

I've only had one lucid dream
but I became lucid by jumping
and I never came back down.

So I guess that one works for me!

Reach down and feel the ground.

That's one i've never heard of. What happens there?
