RC Fast

[maniakalBycikle]

I had a crazy idea today at work....what would happen if you went on an RC fast?  I know that I do RC's like crazy sometimes, so it would make sense that my mind thinks its normal (especially if I don't think about it much).  If I stopped doing RC's completely, would my mind notice the difference, and make me more aware? 

So basically I would do RC's like normal, and then suddenly, for no reason, stop doing RC's for a couple days.  Then do twice as many RC's the next day or so, while thinking "I haven't done many RC's lately."

Hopefully in a dream I would think that to myself and do an RC.

When the Rainmakers Wrokshop is over I'll really try this for a few weeks and see what happens.

Interesting idea... I might participate in this.

Awesome, thanks guys for helping.    Remember to post any results!!  I'll probably start this next week.

Ok, I'm going to be sure to do lots of RC's for a few days, and really think about each one.  Hopefully it wont be to busy at work.  Then on the final day, I'm going to completely stop doing RC's.  If I think about it I'm gonna try to forget.  ...and then we'll see what happens.

This is a really unique idea.

I haven't done this on purpose, but here is some relative bit of experience I can share: I used to RC quite often and then I stopped because of laziness or whatever. After that, for a period of about 2 months I'd say, I had a spontaneous lucid dream (from doing a RC in a dream) about 4 times a month or so. It was crazy. Like, the moment I stopped I trying, it all started to effortlessly happen for me.

But that wore off after a time, and I had to start RCing again.

That's a perfect example of this!  And I guess I can relate as well, it seems like whenever I'm the most discouraged I have a LD.   

I haven't done a single RC since Friday.     I also haven't been thinking of dreaming very much.  So far, nothing has happened.  In fact, I think my recall has been shot down the drain.  I think one of the reasons is that I haven't thought to myself "I haven't done an RC in a long time."  so, tomorrow I think I'm going to start doing a ton of RC's. 

...and we'll see what happens.
