it seems to me that you are trying to find concrete answers to questions that are very abstract and have been debated by philosophers for a helluva lot longer than you and i have been alive
good, that means you won’t try to jump off a bridge in WL thinking you can fly
i think there comes a point where you just know… i don’t become lucid in my dreams by doing RCs, it just dawns on me that it’s a dream. now i’m not saying RCs aren’t useful 'cause they are, if you want some ideas for some there are entire threads devoted to the subject. here’s a good place to start:
[url]the BIG Reality Check Topic [part II]]
fully separate them ??? not too sure that’s possible… and if it is possible, it wouldnt impress me as particularly desirable. who’s to say WL isn’t a dream (a particularly boring one i might add, i can’t even fly !!! ) if i could fully separate my WL from my dreams… maybe i’d stop questioning “reality”
no problem. i’ll forgive your rambling, if you forgive mine
