Thread: Motionless Reality Checks

What are some reality checks that don't require any movement at all? Like, I heard one where you look at your nose through the corner of your eye, and if you can't see it, your dreaming.

What are some other ones?

Noticing your surroundings to see if you know this place in real life, or if they look normal.

Well, apparently Walms has had a lot of luck by feeling how heavy his body is. Just try and feel the weight of your body, if it is different that usual, then you can question wether you are dreaming or not.

And when you start to question wether you are dreaming or not, you usually just have a big wave of realisation (well, i do). and that is really all you need. And assuming this is for WILD you are asking the question, then once you get that sort of feeling you can move your arms and do some RCs like the pinch nose etc. and all the other more common ones. Because if you have that feeling where you just sort of know you are dreaming, you are most likely dreaming and you can take the risk of moving. If it turns out you are not dreaming, then, well that is just unfortunate.

Oh wait... it can't be for WILD actually lol. seeing as your example included opening your eyes
But I guess you have gained more info then. And that RC I described still works the same anyway.

Thanks very much! It wasn't for WILDing, it was for everyday use, like in school, so I don't look like a total crack addict

Well, I just casually pinch my nose. Make it look like not such a big deal.

But another I would use is to close the air pipe in your throught leading to your nose and try to breath.

You probably don't know what I am talking about when I say close up the airpipe. What I mean is close up the thing that closes up when you swallow. That is the best I can explain.

Yeah the closing the air pipe in the throat really works for me. I find that I can't even close it if I'm dreaming.

I was thinking about trying that one, glad to hear it works

This one actually usually fails for me in dreams. Different for everyone, I guess, but I'd say don't make it your only one.
