      RCs are Boooooring!

      I have been RCing for 2 years now and it's gotten very old and boring that I can't do it mindfully anymore!! It's not that I can't do it right, bcz in reality it's just a test like any other where you just do something and observe the result. You don't need to feel or think anything, or be excited or whatever. But, the problem is the part where I need to believe that I might actually be really dreaming and feel true doubt. Like, at my level, I kinda already know it's not a dream cuz if it was, most of the time i become lucid quickly the moment I doubt. Like, it even has it's unique feeling of rapid realization when I start to consider it might be a dream. So, in RL, when I remember to RC and start to doubt it might be a dream, I already would know it's not cuz this unique feeling didn't show up. This feeling is like a RC in itself which doesn't allow me to doubt my reality bcz it's so fast of an answer "no, this is RL cuz this feeling didn't show up".

      I know LDers should maintain this mindset of "you could be dreaming at any time" so that if any doubt ever shows up, they'd have "it's a dream" as the first possible answer to show up to their minds. But it's like I almost always instantaneously become lucid when I doubt if it's a dream. I should mention that i was very good at this cultivation of this critical thought of "I might be dreaming at any given moment", and it really paid off bcz when something weird happened and I started feeling doubt, the first idea that would come is "this might be a dream", then I would RC then become lucid. But now, when something weird happens and I feel doubt, I instantly realize this might be a dream and become lucid. So, is this like an advanced state of critical thinking, so much that I even can't practice critical thinking bcz I wouldn't have much doubt after feeling weird cuz I realize it's a dream too fast??

      Like, sitting now and pretending "this might be a dream" just doesn't work bcz I know almost for sure that it's not a dream. I know we say to beginners that they're wrong bcz you THINK you're in RL bcz humans by default always think that, so don't trust this first impression of "I know it's not a dream", but in my case i know it's not a dream bcz it's like i already instantaneously RCed and got an answer.

      Any thoughts??

      I fill my heart with fire, with passion, passion for what makes me nostalgic. A unique perspective fuels my fire, makes me discover new passions, more nostalgia. I love it.

      "People tell dreamers to reality check and realize this is the real world and not one of fantasies, but little do they know that for us Lucid Dreamers, it all starts when the RC fails"
