Arrgghh school started again yesterday and I forgot that my school’s colour is, you guessed it, green, we have green diarys, green jumpers, green folders etc I think I’m learning not to need as much air (Then again when I am in deep thought I sometimes forget to breath.)
Surreal: “After that is the nose breathing one (which I use if there is no clock) which works roughly 50% of the time.”
I was thinking like… how come it doesn’t work… In a dream u can always breath through ur nose. My reasoning was; if it fails, u can’t breath through ur nose, nor do u breath IRL. XP
In my dream I did the nose RC and thought I was doing it wrong because I could breathe! I kept pinching tighter and tighter, but I still felt as if a tiny bit of air was going through. Funny thing, I woke up nasaly.
Quote Sureal: “My RC’s, more often then not, don’t work - which is why I prefer to use lots. My most reliable one is the clock RC, which works roughly 80% of the time. After that is the nose breathing one (which I use if there is no clock) which works roughly 50% of the time.”
I tried to do a reality check every time I saw green, but the thing is that green is everywhere, so I ended up doing RCs nonstop. Every time I had finished the RC and looked up again, I had to do it again, and again. Nonstop. Obviously it didn’t work out in the long run, because I had to focus on other things also.
How do you do to get round this problem? If you see the same green thing twice (just after you RCd that thing, that is) do yo do a RC again?
I just can’t do RCs nonstop. Should I change from green to something else or should I just do a RC once for each green thing?
I guess either I hold my breath in RL too (unlikely) or else my sub-c just makes it feel like I’m not breathing - when IRL, I am (which is more likely IMO).
For some strange reason red must be much more common where I live than where you live because I would much rather do green, even though I have been trying to breath through my nose while plugged so much that a small amount of air often leaks through my tears ducts, I was confusing the first couple of times it happened, but I figured out what was going on pretty quickly.
[size=150]This RC looks interesting. I don’t think I’ll use green though. Perhaps you could use the sky or the sun though, because it’s always there, but not neccessarily in your line of vision. [/size]
Now, how many people did a RC while reading my post?
Redimin, I thinks it’s a damn good idea. I’m going to “go LaBerge” on dream experimentaion. I’ll write down every detail of my dreams for like a week and see what the most recurring (but common IRL, of course) thing is, and do that as my topic.
Anyway, congratulations on the technique. It sounds promising.
This worked for me, I think, I did an RC in a dream but I don’t know if this was the trigger because I can only remember what happened while I was lucid, which wasn’t long.
I did it by mistake because I read about RCs and thought you were supposed to do them all the time during the day and so that is what I did. Very first day I had a real good(for me) lucid dream. Was controlable and everything.
But I just did the RC’s when ever I thought about it not based on seeing one thing so perhaps about 5 an hour
I was wondering that as well, I’m not sure which one he means. Instead of a color, I’ve been doing a WHOLE bunch when I’m on LD4all, since I’m on here all the time. It’s good to do it everytime I click on a topic, since that will make me do at least 20000 a day. Imagine how hard that was yesterday on my 120 post spree.
Hehe, I was planning on doing green, but I saw that fishmael had beaten me to it. Might as well go with second best. A few probably found this annoy- ahem - helpful.
