Thread: Need a very discreet, reliable reality check

Has anyone tried checking out shadows as a RC? It is one of the things to do on my long to do during LD list, but it may take some time before I get to actually do it. It will be really cool to see if there are shadows in dreamworld and whether they exhibit any strange properties different from real life. It think it is a pretty discreet check too.

Cool idea! You know what's funny? I have only noticed shadows at all during lucid dreams, at least as far as I can recall. My best recollection is that they looked pretty much right but I didn't scrutinize them.

I even had one lucid dream where I was hiding by moving from shadow to shadow. I wish that I'd looked at my hands or something while I was in shadow to see whether they were changed in any way. I will try to pay attention to this more.

Certainly if you can make your shadow get up off the floor and follow you around, chances are you're dreaming.
