Thread: Hiya, I'm new and could this be a RC?

Hiya, I'm new as you will probably know by now

I wondered if I could reality check by checking my phone because everyone keeps saying that if you look at numbers then they basicly go crazy and my phone has the time written in big digital numbers on my phone So if I check that in my dream a few times then should it change?

Ive been buzzing for 2 days now with the idea of LDing, but had no success on the night times yet. I really cant wait for my first time, just hopefully I wont wake myself up with excitment because knowing me I will.

I have to carry my phone all day when I'm at work and tend to have it with me most of the time when I'm not working, so I've been using the clock on it as an RC. I check it once, wait a little while, then check again to see if the time still "makes sense" or if it's jumped ahead a few hours or something. So, I think that might be a good RC for you!

Welcome to Dreamviews, BTW!

Thank you for the quick reply
I will try it out and see it it works because I also have my phone on me all of the time, just hopefully i will look at my phone in a dream soon and think what the hell, im dreaming.
I hope so because im super excited for my first LD

Welcome to dreamviews!

Yes that could very well be used as a reality check but I suggest that you have a backup RC as well. Just check the time, look away, then look right back. Good luck and I hope that you will have a lucid dream very soon!

Yes, you can use the time on your phone to RC. Just remember that it may take quite a few checks before you notice a drastic change in the time. Time always makes sense in my dreams so that isn't a reliable check.

Don't allow yourself to become too excited or you may actually lessen your chances of becoming lucid. And don't be too discouraged if it takes you a little while to have one or if it's very short.

It took me several weeks before I had my first lucid dreams and they only lasted meer seconds. Of course it's different for every person.

I hope you enjoy your stay here! Feel free to ask me questions if you'd like!

Okay, Thanks, I have other RCs aswell like the hand one and nose one just incase.
Does how tired you are effect how you dream? Like if you are more tired is there less chance of it being a lucid dream or does it not make any difference?
I will definatly not give up quite yet because everyone on here says its so rewarding And I should calm myself down abit, I think I will have in a week or so lol
