How to become lucid by making a RC ?

Quest for Lucidity
1

Well , during past few weeks Ive tried LD-ing . It didnt go well until yesterday when I had slept for about 4 hours at night . So after I had waken up I watched TV for about 2 hours and went back to bed . I had a really clear dream about hurring to the bus . I was able to think but I never realized I was dreaming . After I woke up ( I had spent 1 hour sleeping ) I told myself that next time Im dreaming Ill do a RC . After a few minutes I was back in my dream and as soon as the dream began I really realized I was dreaming . I also remembered to do a RC and so I did . I was able to breathe through my nose altough it was shut with my fingers . I had always thought that doing a RC makes me lucid but it didn`t . I just realized I was dreaming and started looking around I knew I should look something concrete to keep myself in a dream so I stared the floor but after a few seconds I woke up .

So theres my question . When Im dreaming and I realize Im in a dream what should I do to become lucid ? RC should tell me if Im dreaming or not but what if I understood it before and knew Im dreaming even without RC ? What should happen after Ive done the RC ?

PS ! Sorry for my bad English .
Thank You for helping !

You were lucid, but you didn’t manage to keep the lucidity, next time try to rub your hands and/or spin around.

When you realize you are dreaming, that means that you are lucid.

If you understand you are dreaming without an RC, it’s all right :smile: . It doesn’t make any difference apart how you became lucid.

If you have done a reality check, you should become lucid, but there are some cases where it might not happen or you have a very low lucidity.

Right now I can tell that you are having problems of keeping your lucidness, if you feel you are losing lucidity, try to rub your hands and spin. Yelling “lucidity x1000” or something similar helps too.

Thank you very much for your answere . It gave me new hope .
So next time I realize I`m dreaming I should just spin around or rub my hands ? But after I have stopped spinning wont I start losing the dream again ? Will the dream become more lucid or will it stay the same ? The dream I realized I was dreaming was very foggy and unclear . :content:
