Hi, I'm wondering if any experienced LDers can please help me with this...

Last night during a nonlucid dream I found myself in a public toilet (dreamsign) and I performed the nose pinch test. I could breathe. I was very surprised by this and thought "hmmm, this means I'm dreaming. It's really hard to believe but that's what it means". I then looked around and thought "I suppose it does feel like it could be a dream". I looked at my hands and they both appeared 100% normal right down to the detail on my wedding rings. I then tried to push my arm through a wall but only felt the hardness and solidness of the wall.

I think the dream must have ended at this point because I don't remember anything after that.

I am going to have to stop looking at my hands or trying to put my arm through an object as part of my daily RCs. These checks have become completely useless. They used to work, but these days my dreams are so realistic and vivid that even when a RC fails (such as the nose pinch did) I have a hard job believing I'm dreaming.

If anyone has any suggestions on a better "back-up RC" please let me know. The problem is that I don't feel confident enough to trust that I'm dreaming based on one RC (nose pinch). The whole point to being lucid is to do things you can't do in real life (eg jump off buildings, say certain things to your boss etc). I need to be 100% sure it's a dream before I go doing crazy things.

So what RCs do you experienced LDers do as part of your daily reality checking? I just need ONE OTHER RC that is as reliable as the nose pinch test. Any suggestions?

TIA
