Hi everyone! What RCs do you personally use, and if you are alucid dreamer, which ones work reliably for you and which ones don’t?
I personally only breath through my nose, check my memories and environment, and look at the fingers on my hands. Actually, I don’t remember if breathing through my nose works or not, since every time I become lucid it’s because I do the memories thing, but when I look at my hands to stabilize I always have multiple fingers, and they usually stay that way for the rest of my dream.
The RC I use the most of all is drawing a circle in the air. If it glows, it is a dream. This works most of the times, and when it fails in a dream, I usually suspect it is a dream already, so I can double check with another RC.
Backup RCs usually follow the pattern of “If this is a dream, this and that will be behind this door”
Man, I wish I could RC with cool things like that, but my powers don’t really work reliably even in a lucid dream. I once spent a lucid dream sitting in a garden trying to make a tea cup levitate but it didn’t even budge!
