Thread: Motionless Reality Checks

I assume they need to be invisible so your acquaintances don't notice em? I always try to explode a nearby lamp or their heads, or indeed just ask myself if it's a dream looking around 10-20 seconds into the conversation.

I was told a great reality check is to attempt to use telekinesis. Look at a small object and try to move the object with your mind. If you sincerely believe that the object will move and you perform this reality check in a dream the object will actually move. On top of being a way to reality check, I suppose this could help those who have trouble with dream control.

That doesn't work for me... Mostly I get so caught up in the dream that it always surprises me when I figure it out.

Another idea is to think of what you did before now and to question whether it makes sense logically that you are where you are now.
If the scene has changed and you don't know how you came from one place to the other, most likely you are dreaming -- or really, really hung over

Sounds great. I am going to start using the telekinesis, and the floating upwards one.

Simply questioning reality would do. That's what the reality checks are all about. The physical movements only concretes it.

Another one is to hold your breath and then try to push the air through your nose. In real life your airways will be blocked, but in a dream you will breathe as normal.
