What are the most affective reality checks to make lucid dreaming occur?
Posted on November 29th, 2009 by admin
how many times a day should they be done, and how can I keep myself reminded to do reality checks?
The nose test is by far the best because its almost always works and is always with you. Pinch your nose, close your mouth and try to breathe. If you can breathe through your hand then you’re obviously dreaming. I’ve been lucid dreaming for around 8 years now and the is the best technique I have found. Its also good to do two different checks to cover your bases because no reality check works every time. If the nose pinch doesn’t tell you you’re dreaming, try reading something, looking away and then looking back. If it changed then you’re dreaming. By the way, don’t push to hard when you do the nose pinch as you will pop your ears and I don’t know if thats is dangerous or not.
You don’t want to do this to many times during the day, but maybe once an hour. On the other hand, you do need to think about lucid dreaming all the time. I use to use a countdown repeat timer that could be set to go off every so many minutes to remind me of my intentions. You can also place notes up around your home or work, or car to remind you. Be sure to move them around or you’ll start to ignore them.
The main key is to become aware of "strange" things that happen during your day, then do a test. Like if two of the same cars are parked beside each other or someone says something really weird, or your tv doesn’t work. Anything like that will get you in the mode of doing tests in your dreams. And you pretty much have to do the sleep back to bed method if you want to have a good shot at it. You can google that for more info or go to http://ld4all.com. Happy Dreaming!

I read that the first step to lucid dreaming is trying to remember your dreams. Start trying to remember them and write them down when you wake up. It may sound like something that cannot be controlled, but if you make a point to recall them, I think it will start to register that they are somehow important to you. I don’t know why there is a connection between remembering your dreams and lucid dreaming, but that’s what I’ve read.

Evaluate whether your watch is displaying a convincing time or not every single time you visit the toilet. On top of this, drink a glass of water last thing every night. As this has biological implications it will give you no end of toilet dreams, each of which will now act as a reminder to perform a reality test mid-dream.
