Heyu guys,
How do you do the counting fingers RC
greets,

I think all you do is count how many fingers you have because sometimes in dreams people have more than 5 fingers. You can also do the usual question of “am i dreaming?”
I took a look at my hand last night (was already lucid) and it looked really small and misfigured. So yeh, counting isn’t always needed 
But yes, basicly its counting if you still have 5 fingers on your hand.
Counting Fingers never works for me, in my dreams everything is normal (usually) but for those who have these odities it’s a great way to jump into Lucidity.
Yes thats the same for me…usually.
You see once i had a weird dream. I was in Japan chasing around some very important guy but i don’t remember why. Well the weird thing about it was that i was pregnant, even though i’m male (see the smilie in the left hand bar <–) this was definately a first for me. I wonder if anyone else has been pregnant in a dream before. Maybe we should do the measure your stomach RC.
If I were you I would NOT use counting fingers as your only technique! It’s great for stabilising dreams and making sure that it’s a dream after a different RC, but don’t rely on it. I made this mistake and am trying to convince my selfconcious not to count fingers, but do a different reality check, because counting fingers has failed me many a time!
but if you are to use counting fingeres often, dont expect to have 5 fingers or normal fingers…
Hey Dreamers,
Thanks for your replies!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I did some research on the counting fingers technique a while ago.
I remember someone on the forum asking if one can count fingers by feeling them, rather than looking at them. And that’s what I did in an LD of mine, I could actually feel that I had six fingers on my left hand. This is very useful when you are in a dark room (like your bedroom 
) or cannot see your hands for some reason.
Sometimes having more than 5 fingers isn’t the only odd thing you would notice about your hand in a dream. I’ve been using this as my handy RC to become lucid everytime so far and almost every time I look at my hand, I have 5 fingers but they are distorted, misshapen, and wavy like jello. One time I looked down to see a black hole in my hand O_o. Another thing you can try is to check for a scar or birthmark on your hand and it might not be there in a dream.
Do the nose RC check. Hold your nose and try to breathe. If you can breathe your dreaming. This has NEVER failed me.
Wow i like that one and if ur firmly convinced that your dreaming but your not youll eventually keel over and die. J/K actually I love that idea.
the counting fingers technique is the one i use to always get lucid because it always works for me. every time i’ve gone lucid, its always been because ive had more fingers than usual
but i guess everybody is different. you have to find what works best for you.
