Thread: Reality checks gone wrong in a dream?

Oh, I hate that... one time, I was in a dream and I decided that what was going on was pretty weird. So for a reality check, I closed my eyes, folded my arms over my chest, and tried to fly. It failed, and my dream went on as normal.

Another one that happened recently... I was just getting done with some great sex, and I thought "Wow, that was awesome. You sure this isn't a dream?" I thought for a moment and said "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's real life." And I kept asking myself, but then I would keep reassuring myself it's reality... x_x

If there is a wall in your dream, then that must mean there is a physical construct in your dream (or at least, you believe there is one), thus, physical rules will apply. For example, not going through walls.. The terrain is tangible.

For the simple reason that a wall exists, precipitates that you also walk, which also means there is gravity, etc. These are all things that are meaningless in dreams, and they will prevent you from realizing that you are dreaming (at least, your subconscious will prevent you, I mean).

My suggestion, change your dream sign; it's not a very reliable one. I suggest the light switch method. I don't believe it's been posted in a while.. but it's a very reliable method. I'll explain it if it you would like..

ok thx

well, such RC arent effective. I tried finger through my palm but it failed once.

best RC is finding digital clocks. reading words or looking at the pictures.

yeah i started doing both of those today

i figure if i do both i will increase my chances
