Thread: experienced LDers: do u still RC?

Well, I kind of developed of habit of performing reality checks during the day, so I still do so. If you find that you can successfully lucid dream without reality checking, then I suppose you could stop doing them. However, I wouldn't recommend doing so because after awhile, you may begin to notice that you are dreaming lucidly less frequently since you've stopped paying as much attention to it.

To be honest I never did them as frequently as I should have when I was starting out. Though, today I do them every so often. I look at the digital clock, I check the writting and gravity. It does help me with becoming lucid but I find other ways to help me also.

I have never induced a lucid dream from a reality check, try as I might to make it a habit of performing them. I still have at least two lucids a week, but it's either something blatantly off, or I just know.

I was never very dilligent with reality checking. I had my spurts, where I did them very often, but I'd usually just trail off and stop doing them, after a while.

Now, I usually only reality check when something really weird happens and, whenever I get the mood to just RC out of nowhere, I'll try moving things with my mind, since telekinesis is about my favorite lucid power, and it almost always works, when I'm dreaming.

I would hardly call myself experienced, but...

Yes, I do RCs all the time. It's pretty much a habit. I have become very much more in-tuned to my surroundings, and when anything strange happens I do a RC.

I've never actually done them but a few times. I tried that "read a book and if the letters are weird, or you can't understand it, you're dreaming" thing but when I opened a book, I was able to read it just fine. Usually the same way with signs, billboards, notebooks, etc... the words tend to flow together coherently, but the sentences themselves don't make much sense.



Like these:




It was banned in the US for having too much itinerary and home ownership.


The annual Uk World Movement is underway.


The experience is money.


You have detestable goats though.

i only usually do RCs when there is something weird going on

I no longer do reality checks. Those days I rely primarily on concentration, binaural beats, visualization and napping. They work fine enough for me.

By the way, the first lucid dream I have ever induced was a result of a self-remembrance rather than reality testing. I think that even as we dream a part of us knows that we do - all we have to do is to remember ourselves.
