      I had a dream image 2 nights ago of my friend Dan handing me a bowl of Bismuth crystals. Just now he shares with me a video he took on his new Go Pro, making Bismuth crystals in a bowl - straight out of my dream. Wild.

      This thread in the first place! I did RC before suggestion and did it again after editing the post

      Like a week ago, while I was heading to the woods on my bike for a little ride out of the week routine, thought I use to ride my bike very often in my dreams.

      The other day, at a job site, realised as I was crawling through a dark area that this situation could have been from a dream because there had been a stark transition from bright daylight to this dark crawlspace which had its first entrance blocked after I'd gone in, and also because I'd recently read mention of "crawling through tunnels" somewhere, in relation to dreaming.

      Edit: In my dreams there's often a sort of light/dark cycling pattern that dream scenery goes through as the dreams progress.

      Playing the game Yahtzee and getting, "Three of a Kind", "Four of a kind" and "Chances", all equaling in 25 points. Plus a Yahtzee with the fives. Reality Check...

      So I was literally walking home with my dog thinking about reality checks when suddenly a sheep appears out of nowhere and stands in the middle of the road and stares at me. It was dark and nobody was around so it was as if I had spawned it like in a dream. I couldn’t believe how dreamlike it was. So surreal.

      Had a dream last night where I was at the grocery store, and picked up a bag of prickly pears because they were only 12g carbs each! Then, in real life, today, my daughter finds a mysterious kombucha in the back of the fridge, turns out the flavor is "prickly pear".

      Turns out? Prickly pears are ~10g carbs per pear, ~6g net carbs. Not too far off! I am going to get some...

      Had a sort of similar moment to this just the other day, except it was when a kitchen timer went off, an ambulance siren started at the same time.

      Lightbulb

      Earlier today I was washing up and I had a reality check moment at the tail end of having a discussion with myself.

      That bit went something like this; "We were born at the same time. But were we? Come to think of it, you (the non-conscious) were born first and I(conscious ego) was born only later, wasn't I?."

      I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by this notion, given everything I've read over the last few years. I found myself wondering how I had never considered this point of view before.

      The other day, when I was waiting out in my car at the hospital. I did do a couple of reality checks because it felt like a kind of a nightmare. Shame it wasn't just a dream. I really had to engage all my senses.

      Okay, not to double post but, I was listening to the News this morning in the other room and I overheard the News Anchor said, "It's very important to do some reality testing". So, I did.

      I had a similar one recently. I can't remember what it was exactly, but something I was watching or listening to and someone said. "We've just got to do a reality check, you know?!"

      I just can't remember the rest of that moment, but it was just so unexpected.

      Had a dream about James Mcavoy last night and then whilst recalling my dream later in the morning he pops up on the radio?! Perfect dream sign RC.

      One time, I was watching the moon rising and saw a strange figure running in the field. I RC.
      When I take a walk near a park and I would try to pick stable points of interest, five personal landmarks on my journey. I try to be as vigilant in noticing any changes in that landmarks in my journey.

      Every time I hear someone say to me, "living the dream." I always respond by saying, "Wait, what? This is a dream?" Lol, and do some reality checking just to make sure. And yesterday for the fourth, I saw someone with a red white and blue shirt with the words. "living the dream" Across the front of it.

      I saw several people today, at different times, completely unrelated to each other, that didn't look real. And it was kind of freaking me out, lol. And I found myself staring at them, like WTF. lol. Everything about them was just too perfect to be real, as if they stepped out of a TV or movie or cartoon. Even their hair, perfectly shaped molded looking, as if it was plastic immovable hair.

      While I was doing my WBTB, I had just came from using the bathroom when I noticed there was a spring peeper in my bed, next to my pillow last night. Did an RC to confirm that I wasn't dreaming. Then I caught it and let him out.

      I kid you not. As I am walking my kids around the block, trick-or-treating, a BLACK CAT literally DASHES right in front of us, across the road. A friend said it's good luck in her culture.
