Lucid Dreaming Tips - Reality Check

A Quick Lucid Dreaming Tip: Quick Reality Checks
This is the most discrete, inconspicuous, and reliable reality check there is.
False negatives are unheard of!

Do you ever ask yourself: How do I do a Reality Check in public and not look like a weirdo? The Answer to discrete reality checks: Go Blow Your Nose!

Well, I suggest that you actually pinch your nose, and breath (in or out) through your nose at the same time while pretending to blow your nose. If you CAN STILL BREATH while your nose is pinched then You Are Dreaming!

Tips on staying / increasing lucidity

When you first become lucid it's normal to get excited but it can sometimes wake you up or even make you think you've woken up only to wake up again later (false awakening).
So first things first: Try to stay calm, and if you do wake up, make sure you do a Reality Check just to make sure you aren't still dreaming.

Sometimes your in a lucid dream and it's still foggy or low detail just like a regular dream, there are lots of ways to try to fix this here are a few that have worked well for me, please comment if you have any good ones I have missed.

• Rub your hands together (makes you connect with the dream more in order to replicate the action, feelings and sounds your hands make).
• Spinning: Spin around like a child would when trying to get dizzy (could take you to a different location).
• Shout "Increase my Lucidity NOW!".
• Feel your eye lids on your face, are they closed? open them with your fingers.
• If you wear glasses take them off or put them on
• Touch walls and solid objects, paying attention to the detail, the feelings and the sounds.

Just a short list.
Also taking some off the shelf supplements or food and drinks have helped me and countless others, I will talk about some of them in my next post.

Forced Relaxation Technique

Now I know this title is an oxymoron, but If you don't have Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming I doubt you know about the 61 point relaxation technique used in it, so I have another simple relaxation technique which is somewhat trimmed down and might need to be repeated more than once.
Firstly, take your hand and make a fist. Now tense up the fist so it's as tensed as you can get it without too much pain or strain. Now relax it to the same degree you tensed it. Remember this feeling of tension and relaxation.

Instructions:

• Get comfortable and relaxed.
• Close your eyes
• Focus your awareness on your feet
• Imagine or visualize tensing, Release...
• Focus your awareness on your legs, Release...
• Focus your awareness on your hips and butt, Release...
• Focus your awareness on your stomach and lower back, Release...
• Focus your awareness on your left arm and right arm, Release...
• Focus your awareness on your chest and back, Release...
• Focus your awareness on your head and face, Release...

Repeat as needed starting back at the feet.

Increase Dream Recall in one step

This simple technique could help you immensely!

This technique has been reported to; Increase dream recall dramatically as well as increasing chances of having lucid dreams.
You should have at least one lucid dream in one week if done everyday, works very well.

Simple tools needed:

• Fresh new notebook.

Now all that is required is for you to do a free association writing (write whatever comes to mind, nonsensical or not) session for 5-20 min (15 is perfect) every night before sleeping.
When you wake up do another free association session for the same amount of time, if you remember a dream make sure you record it first.

Try this for a week or two and see your results, every report I have seen has had great results.
I hope you enjoy your lucidity.

DILD via Dream Signs

I'm now going to give an example of the using Dream Signs you have collected to help you have your first Lucid Dream.
First things first; You should have at least a weeks worth of dreams in your dream diary and the more the better. Okay get out your Dream Journal and go through every dream entry looking for obscure or strange things that could only happen in your dreams (or for the most part).

For example; I have a dream where I am in a field and I have a metal baseball bat and there are cinder blocks on pikes all around me and I know I'm supposed to smash them and well, usually, I do.
I seem very angry and want to destroy them very much.

And another one I have I'm in a house that is haunted or something and cooking things float around in the kitchen allot. I'm frightened and excited.
My last dream is very vague as it's new and not lucid (as well) as I been having non-lucid dreams as to try to go through the whole process to get a good beginners view.

These are not the best examples for dream signs but they will work.
So some of my dream signs could be to:

• Do a Reality check every time I feel angry or feel destructive.
• Anytime I see a baseball bat or cinder block (even in buildings walls, be creative if possible) I do a Reality check.
• Anytime I'm in a field, forest or open area I would do a Reality check.
• Anytime I feel afraid or excited
• Anytime I enter or leave a kitchen.
• Anytime I hear or think about hunting's or ghosts, or see something related to that I would do a Reality check.

Next up the WBTB (wake back to bed) technique if you haven't had a Lucid dream yet then this could be the best way to get you lucid tonight. (coming tomorrow night ;)
