Thread: Reality Check PASSES Every Time...

Personally, the reason I feel that reality checks DO work is because, when I do RC, I do it will the full-on expectation that I might be in a dream. I don't just do it as a habit going, "Oh I'm in RL, I'm awake." I think, "Wait, what if everything so far is a false awakening and I'm still asleep?! " With that attitude I start to fervently push my finger into my hand, read all the text around me, check the time, count and pull on my fingers, etc. AS I'm doing it, I'm expecting them all to work because I think I'm dreaming, I'm even visualizing my finger popping out the other end. Usually if I take on an attitude like this I will find that my RCs do show I'm dreaming, and that the impossible things will work because I'm standing there expecting them to and directing them to.

I finger-through-palm, count the fingers, read the text, etc. And they rarely fail me, I have a harder time actually RCing in dreams than getting an RC to work.

Read, look away then read again always works for me.
