During Lucid dreaming training I learned the importance of ‘reality testing’, to not take anything for granted, visual details can yield keys to getting ’stark raving lucid’. For instance whenever I have dreamed of doing handstands and flips, I become aware of lucidity – and take control within my dream. To stimulate this occurring, actually practicing in waking life had become necessary, also ‘hand rubbing’ for when gymnastics are not possible. Within a dream when you find yourself losing details or falling awake, try hand rubbing to stimulate more of the dream. By doing this whilst awake, you hope to carry this activity over into your dream time – and be able to use it as a gentle reminder to check if you are dreaming.
