Finger counting is good, but the finger through palm method has failed me tons of times. Maybe it's just a personal problem I have with it, but I don't like it at all. As far as levitation goes, hmm, I wouldn't use it as a reality check, because some people have problems levitating objects until they learn some dream control. I recommend this following combo:

- Think about what happened in the last minute or two.
- Look at your right hand and count your fingers.
- Look at your left hand and count your fingers.

I think that's a pretty good way to test your state. Now, if you have a digital watch on your hand, you can combine that as well. Look at the numbers, remember them, then look away and *expect* then to change when you look back.

As for the others, I will start to work on them. Thanks
Just make sure of the following: Your reality checks shouldn't be too short (1 - 2 seconds), but they also shouldn't be too long (15+ seconds) so that it becomes a pain in the butt to do them.

Also make sure to count your fingers instead of just looking at your hands and "assuming" you have five fingers. I say this because this morning I had a very vivid dream in which I did an RC by just looking at my hands for two seconds and assumed I was not dreaming. When I woke up I was disappointed.

And read the two books I told you!
