Creating a Dreamsign

[RDC]

although i am no expert at LDing, i have found that staying active keeps me lucid quite often. whenever i stop moving or find myself zoning out in a dream, it will just collapse. as for rubbing the hands, since you cant seem to find your hands, you could try just imaging what it would feel like to have your hands rubbing together and focus on that. all my LD’s start in my basement which is pitch black and i can never see my hands but i can still image what it would feel like to rub them together which seems to work to stabilize the dream.

however i have this problem like i said… i know everything in my home, even the way i usually go to places… and checking them for “logic” gets so damn boring. everything looks like the same old boring stuff… how can you check and check it again, every day? the 3rd time i’m checking i don’t have to check, cause i expect and know where everything is going to be… how do you get over that

How do you know the other times you checked aren’t false memories? I will admit, it is much easier on days when I’m going different places rather than at home. But still, even now I’m asking myself if me being on the computer with LD4all open makes sense (which it does). Buuuut, better safe than sorry. RC

I never said it wouldn’t be boring. but it’s worth it. By doing that over and over you are clearly establishing what is normal. That way, when you find yourself at the wrong house or you have a new bookshelf in your bedroom, you may notice.

As for the dream collapsing, there’s two things. One, it gets easier the more LD’s you have. Two, before trying to remember your goals stabilize the dream with hand rubbing, exercise or anything else to keep the focus on your dream body.

Yet another thing to support the “it’s boring mindset” is that in our everyday lives, waking ones, we know that this is waking life. Somehow. It just feels right. BUT. We have the same feeling in our dreams as well.
