Thread: Social reality checks

First of all, I really want that shirt! But that link doesn't seem to work for me. (EDIT: Nevermind, I noticed other stuff wasn't loading as well so I just renewed my IP. It works now!)

And that's an excellent idea. I'm an incredibly socially awkward person, but because of my job I spend a good portion of my day communicating with people. Thus most of my mental energy is spent on not botching these social interactions. Doesn't leave much room for retaining the awareness I need for practicing lucidity! But if I could somehow build a reality check into these interactions, it might make it easier.

For instance, in waking life I am never completely at ease when interacting with another person, but in dreams I do not feel the same sense of discomfort. I may be able to use this feeling of discomfort (or lack thereof if it's a dream) as a queue to question reality.
