Despite what the method says, you do not want to randomly do a reality check. Think about it, what are the chances that all of a sudden in your dream you're going to think "Time for my random reality check!" Very slim to none.

You want to do a reality check any time you see something weird or unusual. You want to make it a habit. Say, you're in class and one of the male students is wearing a pink shirt. You do a reality check. See a car accident? Reality check. Random person doing a handstand? Reality check. That way, when you see something unusual in your dreams, say a zombie, you're more likely to do a reality check out of habit. Doesn't that make sense?

Doing this, your mantra would be "Next time I'm dreaming, I'll see something unusual and do a reality check."

Pinch your nose and try to blow air through it. You can't. But, in your dreams, you can. So, pinching your nose and blowing air through it is way to see if you're dreaming or not.

If you can't remember your dreams, try the mantra "I remember my dreams when I wake up" as you are falling asleep. You want to make this important to your subconscious as the more important you make your dreams, the easier they will be to recall. When you wake up, with your eyes closed, try to recall as much of the dream as you can and write it down in a dream journal. Over time this will make it easier to recall dreams.

When you start recalling your dreams consistently, search for any patterns. These are called dream signs. At this point, you'll also want to do a reality check whenever you encounter a dream sign while you're awake.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
