Thread: When do you RC?

Hello all.

I started my lucid dreaming journey back in 2004 and my interest/motivation has come and gone over the years (as you can tell by my signature). The one thing that has remained for the last 9+ years is the habit of doing reality checks. But, during the times when I wasn’t actively pursuing LDs I only did RCs when my current situation felt “weird” or “dreamlike”. I discovered that this doesn’t work very well because when I’m dreaming even the most F’ed up things seem perfectly normal.

Now I am back to actively pursuing LDs I am wondering when other people do there RCs

Personally I do RCs:
• I feel “weird” (If I feel that I may be dreaming)
• Anytime the situation seems strange (Things are happening that don’t typically happen – Example: I get pulled over for speeding)
• Anytime I have strong negative emotions (Anger, sadness, etc.)
• When I wake up in the morning (Always have to check for false awakenings)
• Whenever I change environments. (Example: When I go from inside my house to outside. – Still working on making this a habit)
• Whenever I see a mirror (Still working on making this a habit)

So, when do you RC?
