Hello. I'm a new member here, but been reading posts in the forum for a while.
I'm not new to lucid dreaming. I have 73 LDs recorded (only Dilds - got them with MILD, SSILD, WBTB).
Had my first few LDs, unintentionally over my teen years (2005-2013).
But started practicing "intentionally" for the last two years, on and off.
Most of my LDs did not come from Reality Checks.
Sometimes i did use them in a dream to confirm that i am dreaming after having a "wait a minute..maybe im dreaming" moment.
But rarely it was because of the RC itself, as im not practicing it daily at all (excluding a few attempts).
I don't have an issue with preforming RCs.
After a day or two it becomes very natural, sometimes i even over do it.. once i got to a point that i naturally remembered to do RC almost every 10 minutes during the day.. it was mentally exausting.
For those few days my dream recall just "died"... not even one non-lucid dream recall... so i stopped doing RCs at all.
Another time i "gave it a shot" and it was pretty successful. After a little more than a week of RC practice, i had 3 LDs in the same night, in each one i used the RC, and a few more LDs in that week.
So now i want to give it another try, and log my progress.
My RC is very simple:
- When i remember to do it, i look around asking myself "maybe this be a dream?".
- I try to actually doubt really.
- I look for anything "weird" around me, then i try to read some text (in my dream the words dont make any sense).
- I try to erase/rub a small tattoo off my finger. (In my dream the tattoo tends to dissapear after i rub it).
- My final and ultimate check: i pinch my nose and try to breath. (This thing worked everytime in my dreams).
If i can't breath then i'm awake, if i can breath - its a dream.
It seems like a long RC but its actually 15-20 seconds long.
Today is my 4th day at it (started 9.1.20).
Things I want to learn from this experiment:
- Will it actually diminish my dream recall as it did before (probably because i was over-doing it ).
- Will it increase my dream recall/vividness.
-Will it give me LDs again(resulting from higher awarness that RCs generate, and also when the habit itself will start happening in my dreams).
