Thread: I did a LOT of RCs last night....

I really hoped that it would succeed somehow when I fell asleep.

In my dream last night, I did nothing BUT RCs... but I STILL didn't become lucid. In fact, my dream recall this morning is so poor that I only have a fleeting memory of going through the RC motions and thinking critically......about something else. I dreamed about questioning dreams but only in a detached, half-conscious perspective. I honestly don't think my tired brain last night was capable of turning on, no matter how many RCs I did. Nothing about it was vivid or clear.

I can't stand not being able to have lucid dreams anymore... a few months ago I listened to a binaural beat track that was successful on two nights, but since then I've tried to replicate the results and I get nothing.

Maybe I'm thinking way too much about it, I don't know... it just makes me mad.

Yeah i know what you mean, just try to remember that the last thing that you did before dreaming is that you fell asleep. In your dream try to look for something that isn't supposed to be there. Try to do a gravity rc, it might just work for example, jump up and down, you never know you might be able to fly. I did the same thing that you did, yesterday i did some rcs in real life and i almost became lucid in my dream last night. The only thing that stopped me from becoming lucid was a dc, because of the way the dc acted towards me. Otherwise i would have became lucid.

You can't force it that way and doing a lot of RCs for one evening is not enough anyway. Doing it frequently for a few weeks is the far more successful option.

I think your mind may not be too preoccupied with things or it won't realize you're dreaming even when doing RCs all the time, or especially then it won't.
