So: first post, five months into learning, and nine really brief LDs. This forum is such a great resource, and I'm hoping to get some input on the areas I struggle with.
I read a lot of people saying that when you RC "you should feel that you could be dreaming at that very moment". And I never can. I believe the first one of the day, when I wake up - "this could be a false awakening". But then, if an hour later, I see one of my dreamsigns (chocolate, comics or animals!) and say; "this could be a dream", my brain instantly replies: "um - no it couldn't, becase I remember that nose pinch I did an hour ago when I woke up, and I haven't gone to sleep since then, and I remember what I've been doing in the house since I got up, and it hasn't changed shape or location in that time at all, so I know I'm still awake". So that thought goes through my head in a flash, and before I can even nose pinch - I've talked myself out of believing. And so it goes all day.
I can role play it and say : "what if I had a dream tonight that was just like this, and then I'd do a nose pinch and discover I was dreaming" - and act that out - maybe that'll be as far as I can get. But do people really believe they might be dreaming when they RC ? Even when you remember doing your last RC earlier in the day?
