I do the squeezing of the nose reality check and that never lets me down I also done the finger through the hand just after I done a reality check just to make sure and it felt really weird feeling my finger go through my hand

When you do reality checks in real life, expect it to work, expect to be dreaming. You could say in your head before you do one "If this is a dream, my hand will go straight through the other!" then perform the reality check. The more you believe it, the more chance you have to succeeding. Good luck
