Reality Check Idea (Re-reading Text)

[paigeyemps]

Hi everyone, I'm sure you are all familiar with the reality check wherein you look at a text/number, look away, then look back. If it changes, it indicates you're dreaming, and can trigger lucidity. I have been doing a slightly different version of this, and I wanted to share it with those who have not tried doing it yet. This is generally what I do: 1. I look at the text and read it. 2. I look away. 3. This is the important part! While I am looking away, I imagine and try to change the text with my mind. (I try to use different words so my brain doesn't become complacent with a certain word, which might not trigger lucidity anymore in the long run.) 4. I look back to see if it changes. I think this would be more helpful because if we simply read a text and look away, we are still thinking about what the text was (because we try to remember it so we can compare it later) and since our dreams are formed from our thoughts, there is still a big chance that when we look back, it will remain the same due to what we are thinking. Whereas if you try to change the text while looking away, it might provide a bigger chance to get lucid if the text indeed changes when we look back. I have been doing this for months now, and I have had great results. So I was wondering if anyone else has been doing this, and if so, how is it working out? If you haven't tried it yet, do it! It might work well for you

That seems reasonable; like an exercise in dream control, too.
