I think it has to do with that obssession I was talking about in the other thread; when dreaming is on your mind a lot, it will naturally occur to you sometimes when you are actually dremaing, too.
Yeah thats it. Exactly like that

I newer think this way in a dream. Usually. I start my internal dialogue after i realize its a dream. So no thinking. Just realisation in my experience. But it seems that we are different. Would be interested if reality checks work for both types of personalities.

It might be that you're particularily adept now at noting the feeling of a dream, how it's different from reality. You know, when you're in a dream, even if it's incredibly realistic there that slight sense in the back of your mind that you know it's not real.

There was a topic earlier about a few people who no longer did RC's, they could tell that they were in a dream, now lucid, because it did not feel like reality does.
Feeling of a dream. Yeah. Could be expressed that way. I was wondering if doing reality checks helps. Are the reality checks really used what they should be used for? {in case of personalities like me?}. Is there anyone who uses them on regular basis to "wake up" in a dream? Or do we use them just as a prove? {Just like Moonbeam expressed}.

Hmm. I can think only about one think. Reality checks make you obsessed with dream reality {thx Moonbeam} and thus invoking dream saturated mind, which somehow automatically wakes you up, becouse you wished so much. I was just wondering.

Maybe reality checks are not for everyone. Maybe...
