If rcs have helped you become lucid how did they

[topten35]

Last night i went to dream views and studied up some, and i was thinking about doing an rc before bed. So after closing out for the night i did an rc right before i went to sleep, and i had two lucid dreams last night, I've started to do rcs more during the day as well, i guess it really helped me because, it reminded me to do a reality check in my dreams. The rc that i did was, i liked at both of my hands, my right hand was normal but, on of the fingers on my left hand was bent awkwardly, my hands are normal in real life. The first thing though that gave me a tip that i was dreaming was, i saw something out of the ordinary. I was in some house i don't know if it was my childhool house or what, but it did look similar, but that wasn't the first thing i noticed. When the dream started, i was laying in bed under the covers, and i saw a black cat that resembled in size of a black panther. I thought to myself, i don't have a pet, so i knew not immediately because i was afraid and hid under the couch, but after a few seconds i knew it was a dream but i was still some what afraid. But then i got out of the bed and a few seconds later, the dream ended. The dream may have only lasted a few minutes, but at least i was lucid because i totally knew it was a dream, almost right from the beginning. I can't remember being lucid this week, but of course i did dream, all i have to do now is work on prolonging dreams. So if reality checks have worked for you, how did they work? And how much do you rc during the day?

I just RC daily. I do a lot of RC during the day and that is what has given me most of my lucids. I probably do around 20 RC during the day. I try to do it anytime, like when I am with friends/family, bored, on the comp, or watching tv, etc.

I just RC when I wake up, and ocasionally, when I remember to, but so effective. And cool you had a lucid topten!

Sorry for the triple post my computer froze and it got messed up with the posting, sorry.

I probably RC about 5-6 times a day only, because it's just when I remember. It amazes me every time they pass still :0

I don't do reality checks that much. They can help in 2 ways. 1) it gets you thinking about lucid dreaming throughout you're day and questioning your reality. 2) if you make it enough of a habit, you might just do a random RC in your dream and become lucid.

I only RC when I see something weird... which is rare. It's funny though, in a dream I've never done a random RC, I was always lucid first THEN did the RC just to make sure.

Yeah, i use to hardly ever do rcs in the pass, but now that i'm doing more of them, i've been having more lucid dreams but not every day. That's a good idea to rc when you wake up, because you never know when you might have an fa.
