Thread: ybm's Workbook

Hey gab, I'm having some problems remembering to RC during the day. I only remember about 2-4 times a day and I'd really like to do it about every hour. Any tips you have to help me out here?

You can give yourself some reminders. Like a sticky note on a place you frequent - laptop, bathroom, kitchen sink...
If you have digital watch, you can set it up so it beeps on the hour. Or set up a timer, each time for different length. A bracelet - rubber band, or even just a string.

When I did RCs by my watch beeping on the hour, first I waited for a beep, but very soon I started to look at my watch to see if it's time yet and do RC at that time. Then later on, you will remember to RC, because you will remember your watch beeping and you will remember to RC even before the watch beeps.

Some like to RC each time they do something - like walk through the doorway, use the restroom, get in a car, or something that repeats often.

You can also RC when you see something unusual. Tell you the truth, there is not much unusuall stuff happening in my life, so I just said to myself "that's weird", when noticing something not so weird, just maybe out of ordinary. Like a loud car, neighbor coming home from work early, strong wind, classmate didn't come to school...

Or when you see your dream sign.

But best thing is to RC at random times. Just in case you don't notice your dream sign or something weird in your dream, you can still get lucid from a random RC.

Just remember to put emotions into doing them and also into the awareness question and when you say "that's strange". That question is the main lucidity trigger, RC is just to confirm.
