This time I was out in a big valley with a few people, they were friends but acting hostile.

When I found myself running and the repeating thing of feeling like running through molasses occurred. I asked myself 'am I dreaming?'

I looked up to find anything that would tell me that I am e.g., some writing or a clock but being in the outdoors with no urban signs around there were none.

Instead, upon looking around I decided this scene felt & looked so (beautifully) real that I couldn't have been dreaming.

My bladder (or alarm?) woke me up. Upon returning to sleep, I think I returned briefly to the dream but didn't recognise it so never stopped to check if I was dreaming again.

How do I check if I'm dreaming when in the great outdoors??
