That's funny as hell!

I have a clear memory of failing a reality check once... in the fourth grade! Obviously, I didn't know anything about lucid dreaming or think of what I was doing as a "reality check," but that's essentially what it was.

I was in my 4th grade classroom, the details are a bit hazy as it was nearly a decade ago, but for some reason I was suspecting that I was dreaming. But I couldn't tell. So I decided that I should test myself somehow. My reasoning was, "okay, if this is a dream, then that means that I'm not really here, which means that I shouldn't be able to really feel anything if I touch it!" It made perfect sense to my eleven-year-old mind. So, I reached down and felt one of the desks in my classroom, but alas, it felt like a desk. So I figured it must be real, and I sat down in my desk and started listening to what my teacher was saying, like a good little boy I don't remember what happened after that, I just remember waking up the next day and I was like "crap, that WAS a dream! I KNEW it!!" I know now that it's because my method of checking reality wasn't a good one, but I find it amusing that I even thought to do so when I was so young.
