I mainly just do the nose breathing and it’s effective. I also look at some text look away quickly and look back again to see if the text changed any. You also could try to poke your palm with your finger and see if it’ll go through.
Since I’ve started I’ve gotten really really good at dream recall but I can’t seem to do a RC in my longest Rem phase. I’ve gotten lucid 4 times. But I keep getting swept back up into the dream because it’s in the early rem stages. Can anyone give me any pointers?
I read some where about a RC were you try and look at your nose and if you don’t see it your dreaming. Does anyone know if this is effective?
I have heard of this RC before. I personally have never used it before. But I have heard that it is effective.
When I become lucid, it happens spontaneously. I NEVER remember to do a RC.
Moved to the BIG RC topic
I was just wondering what everyone thinks is the best RC to use during school time. It was ok during half-term because I could look at my hands or hold my nose to RC but in school its all a bit public. Any ideas?
Looking at your hands discreetly only takes a few seconds. You won’t look weird.
I check my hands and do a nose RC. I have to choose the proper times to do the nose RC though… it looks like I’m picking my nose 
The nose RC is my favorite but if you wanna be discreet, just feel how many fingers you have under your desk 
Hmm, schools usually have many clocks around, could always double check the time. Can’t fail with the Nose check tho!
Or bite something in your mouth (Not the tongue, something else - your lips or the part batween your lips and cheeks) No one can see that!
An RC I like to do is trying to move objects, from a distant, with your mind. Nobody will notice it, you’ll only have to think about it.
I know this isn’t a true RC but I was thinking of just saying ‘Am I dreaming or awake?’ each time I walk through a doorway. The goal of doing this is is to try and make it so that I would say ‘Am I dreaming or awake?’ in my dreams. I just want to see if it actually works. I know it would be faster if I just do RCs but I just want to try it my way first.
In my dreams I’ve never noticed anything weird about my hands, so i depend on the nose/time/light switch. And today in class i was gonna do a reality check but felt kinda stupid looking doing the nose one 
thanks this is useful
My favourite rc’s are the holding my nose and check if i can breathe and i wrote DREAM on the back of my hand in capital red letters (but small) and check it alot. in my dream last night i checked my hand and it looked exactly like the writing and color on my hand exept it was every second letter so it said DEM. i got freeked out thinking that wasnt what i wrote, so i made another rc and blocked my nose and i breathed so easily. i got all exited and in my dream i shouted im dreaming and flew all over the classroom, all dc’s looking at me like i was mental lol.
I have heard that it can work. I do it each time I walk through one doorway at my school since i often dreams that i am there 
seems like a good thing to do 
my reality check is looking in a book or observing if the surroundings are slightly blurred and if the angles seems strange .
I’ve done like 70 RC’s today xD Do you think i’ll do one in my dream too?
If you continue doing them for another two weeks you might start doing them in your dream too 
Although there is no guarantee as sometimes it can take a little while for the idea to penetrate your sub-consious, (Hopefully it won’t be long. ) It’s possible, especially since you must have been thinking about Lucid dreaming quite a lot today to do that many RCs.
