I realize now, that reality checks probably won't work for me. Why? Because RCs involve doing things such as look at clocks, mirrors, or trying to put your finger through your hand. I can usually do none of these in a dream, because my dreams never give me an oppurtunity for me to say "Hey! There's a mirror! I look weird! I must be dreaming!"

My dreams are very different than others. Most other people have dreams about real-world locations with dream characters in it. For example, people find themselves walking through random buildings or houses, and speaking with existent or nonexistent dream characters. My dreams are not like that.

A general dream for me is:
1. I fall into some sort of video game, with varying control. Sometimes I view it from a third-person perspective, sometimes from first-person, and last night, even from a Gameboy-Pokemon style perspective. (Weird).

2. A dream about some show that I have watched, almost always an anime. I've dreamed a scene from Eurkea Seven, and last night something about Naruto. For anyone who knows Naruto I think I saw Kiba and Neji a year after the 2 1/2 year time skip.

3. Any other journey or travel that leads me through a world that you won't find in real life.

Because I go through areas that don't look like daily urban places, my RCs do not correspond with my dreams. I'm trying to find a more "universal" type of RC. Seeing as sometimes I can't see or use my hands, they don't work. I don't ever remember seeing a mirror or clock in any of my dreams, period.

Any Ideas on how I could become lucid?
