Reality checks and real life.

Reality checks seem like a good idea when doing WILD.

But when people say “when typing out a message on the forum do a RC”

i mean, sitting here now i know that im not in a dream just by ‘feeling’ it you know? i mean i’ve never actually had a LD yet, but surely it can’t be that similar to real life that you actually are in a dream without realising it.

All the same i’m starting to do RC checks like hold my nose and such every time i wake up or hear somone shouting outside or something xD

From my limited knowledge of it, I believe you do them even if you know you are awake just so that you get into the habit of it. If you get into the habit of it and you are in a LD but not aware of it yet, you will just do one and realize that you are lucid.

Once again, I am pretty new to this stuff so I could be wrong on this.

No thats right and very logical :happy:

thanks

yeah the habit carries over into your dreams.
