I was just curious about something. I believe that Inception's basis on totems and such are different but WOULD it be possible to have your own totem - Like for example a die or a chess piece- that you can try to manipulate as a reality check?

Like for example if I have a dice, if all the sides of it are six or if my chess piece can be stretched or manipulated to how I want, could this be a valid reality check?

I know a TILD is impossible but I realized that this might be a handy way to do a reality check. But IS IT POSSIBLE OR am I just -no pun intended- dreaming?
