      Logic to convince me to be skeptical of reality.

      Okay, here's my theory. Dreaming is the default state instead of reality (perception-wise). Before you do anything you wouldn't do in waking-life (stepping away from "reality") or would rather be doing something else in your dream, do an RC to see which rules to abide by. Here is my logic behind this:

      The more you accept your current situation as reality, the less chance of it being real there it. Sometimes, I question, "what is reality"? In a dream, you always accept your surroundings as reality. Thus if you think you are in "reality" you are probably not in reality because sometimes I think waking life is real less than I think dreams are real. I ALWAYS think dreaming is real, but I only MOSTLY think waking life is real. Thus, I must always assume I am dreaming.

      To be safe, before action, comes RC.

      I'm trying to get this working on a "gut" level so that I always RC, and thus, start DILDing.

      I find one hole in my logic so far, more time is spent awake than in dreams. However, in a dream, I will not know which is which, thus assuming always in a dream is safe.

      I would like comments and/or you pointing out holds in my logic.

      EDIT: Oh, I thought of a more concise way to put it. I am innocent of being awake until proven guilty.

      EDIT: I have an example.

      I see a vending machine. "I can smash that and try the things inside." *Does RC. I am awake.* "I won't now, but next time I probably can do it."
