A on palm: new tech?

I’ve recently stumbled upon a technique among the first google results on how to lucid dream.

https://www.wikihow.com/Lucid-Dream

The tech (RC) is as follows: “Try marking an “A” (which stands for “awake”) on your palm. Every time you notice the “A” during your waking hours challenge whether you are awake or asleep. Eventually you may see the “A” in your sleep and become lucid.”

I was curious since they suggest this tech of which I never heard of (and I couldn’t find any posts mentioning this tech on this site but maybe I didn’t use the search funktion correctly)

My questions are ,
Has anyone here heard about this tech before?
Has anyone ever tried it?
What are your thoughts about this RC?

I’m going to try this out. I’m thinking that the drawing of the A has a similar effect of boosting vividness and also make use of your senses.

I have heard of it as an A or a L before. I don’t see how it checks reality at all, but anything that raises awareness is a good way to go. If it keeps your mind actually thinking about what state you are in, then it will work. Which RC you use doesn’t really matter. Some work better for others than others, but the main thing you are trying to do with a reality check is getting into the habit of wondering if you are actually in a dream.

I think the technique is generally similar to having items that urge you to do an RC. But I can see it work :tongue: Funny thing is that after reading your topic yesterday evening before going to bed, I noticed something odd on my palm in a dream this morning that made me consider whether it’s a dream or not. Too bad the subsequent RC didn’t work :tongue:
