I have a problem that I hope you guys can help me with. I had a dream last night. These weren’t conscious induction techniques, I just lazed around in bed until I fell asleep again (WBTB I guess). I’m pleased that despite there not being any really obvious dreamsigns in that section of the dream I thought to do a RC anyway. In hindsight I was conscious in my dream, but I still didn’t know if I was dreaming or not. I must have done the nose-plug-and-breath RC 10 times and I always failed. I know how it should feel, I’ve done it before in a dream, but it eluded me nevertheless. Even when I told myself that this is a dream, that I know what it should feel like, try it again, I would still fail.
Does anyone have any advice for improving the effectiveness of an RC while in the dream?
Exactly, man… same thing happened to me… I found the way to deafet this shmoke:
Do 2 diff RCs at a time, or switch to another one, nose RC didn’t work for me… hands are better, you can easy do 3 RCs with one hand 1 look at it, 2 count fingers (works well, especially if you don’t see them), 3 pull fingers while counting… they usually become a lot longer then suppose to.
It will work for more then 50% of the time. I heard watches is the great RC, I am waiting for digital to arrive, when it’ll be a habbit to look at the watches numbers will be probably an easy thing to understand that something wrong with them. And one more:
one of the greatest RCs is the mirror, will induct you like 80% of the time, especially when you just look at yourself, not just skin or dots… and take a look at your toung… haha it’s always so funny.
two last times I was inducted by Hand RC , was not paying attention and not lookin at the hand, but suddenly I went from five to 6 and 7… WOW WTF? I am dreaming!!!
the other time just looked at it and got it, even pulled finger to make sure… got way too long…
