Spoiler for lsd = pounds, shillings and pence:

So basically from the above example 'even if you are not' then to an outsider/certain individuals, they try to make things fit like a glove just to suit themselves; usually from not knowing the full background or story behind it.
In the case of 'reality checks' I guess a lot of people might see it as 'eccentric' and nothing more. If everybody was the same, then the world would be a boring place.

I have the issue where I have had the OCD (checking) appear in a dream. I also have had where you know you are lucid, but still (sometimes) decide NOT to throw yourself out of a high window.
I guess that's a good thing - I mean you wouldn't want to make a (RL) mistake there!
