I just read on the net and also experienced it for myself....the dream story is not from waking life and neither is it about waking life it comes from another source belonging to the subconscious. So my question is since it is not about or from waking life how can reality checks be done in a dream or the awareness that one could be in a dream? The only way I had lucid dreams was by MILD but even so it's very difficult to exactly get the idea through...another thing mentioned was the lack of memory in the dream and evidently the lack of memory to do a reality check.
