Thread: Is this a good reality check?

A week or so ago I had a lucid dream (sort of, I forgot I was dreaming after about 30 seconds and lost lucidity), but the weird thing was the way I realised it was a dream. It wasn't any of my reality checks that cued me in.

Earlier that day I had been wondering why coins are always circular, and not square or triangular. And what clued me in to the fact I was dreaming was that I found a square coin in my pocket.

I've only had 3 lucid dreams, and in the other 2 I woke up straight away, making this one, with the coin, the most successful.

Given that, would checking my pockets for a square coin be a good reality check, or was it just a one-off?

I really like that idea. If I had more coins in my pocket, that'd be my go-to RC.

This is definitely a fun idea but will not be the most successful RC.

The problem being that you most certainly could have a dream where you reach into your pocket and pull out only circular coins. It's is actually more likely that you will find circular coins being that you would expect them to be circular when in a non-lucid dream

Like RebelSeven said, I don't think that reality check would work all the time. What if you pull out circular coins in your dream?
