- Finger through palm check
- Hold nostrils shut check
- Hand check
- Text check
- Looking for anything missing
- Looking for anything extra
- Looking for anything malformed
- Remembering what I've been doing in the last few minutes
- Asking, "Who are these people?"
- Looking for specific dreamsigns

And finally concluding, "Because _________ (results of the above checks), I am/am not dreaming." And then, "I am not dreaming now, but when I do dream, I will be lucid, and it will be awesome." Then I imagine exactly what I would do if I found I was currently dreaming. So you see, it would be highly impractical to do 50 of these in a day.

What many here do is to do a reality check only when they go through a door, or see a dreamsign, etc. That seems to work for quite a few.
When i done reality checks i thought i had alot. I used to count my fingers, (very reliable) flick a light switch, look at my hands, observe my surroundings while asking am i dreaming.

But there was no way i could keep up the rate of reality checks i was doing with the list so long.

I have a more effective method of attaining lucidity now which is much easier. This brings me lot of success when i can be bothered to use it.
