Thread: Reality check didn't work or...?

Simply put, reality checks are not fool proof and depending on how stable and consistent the dream is, can even be considered unreliable at times. Also some reality checks work better for some than others, perhaps you may need to find one that fits you better.
As a side note, I would recommend having one RC that tests the consistency of the dream (such as reading a clock or book, turning away, then reading them again to see if they change) and one RC that tests the "realism" of the dream (such as rc's that force you to do supernatural things like levitate, stick your finger through your palm, or breath through a closed nose).
