Using Reality Checks to Become Lucid
Reality Check? Didn’t we cover that one already? Yes, but instead of using the reality check inside the dream to determine it is really a dream, you can also apply it as a tool to become lucid.
To do that, you have to start doing RC’s everywhere, every time. Make a habit of it. Do it for example every time you wake up or look at a clock.
Incidentally: Are you dreaming right now?
If you do RC’s all the time during waking life you will eventually dream of doing a Reality Check. And it will fail! (or work - depending how you look at it) and you will know you are dreaming.
Tips:
- Get an alarm watch and every time the alarm goes off do a RC
- Have one or 2 favorite reality checks and keep using them. That way it will be almost like a reflex.
- Use the banner option in your screensaver to remind you to do a RC.
