i don't use reality checks when I dream. I just sleep and then I'm automatically lucid. But that's because I've been lucid dreaming ever since I was like 4 years old. I just found out in January that what I was doing actually had a name. I didn't know at first that not many people could lucid dream. It's kinda weird going to sleep and then when I'm dreaming I feel like I'm awake but I'm not and I can do all sorts of weird things like flying and move objects and set things on fire without touching them. I love lucid dreaming! But I'm sure that there are some things that I still don't know about lucid dreaming so that's why I'm here. To learn what I don't know. I guess I didn't help so I'm sorry guys!!!
