Thread: Reality Checks

The only RCs I use are pinching my nose and see if I could breathe, and look at a watch, then look away, look back again and see if it changed.

Though it never hurts to look at my surroundings and questioning myself.

remebering what you have done since you woke up earlier this morning (assuming it's later in the day) -a backwards logical trace

I find that mental reality checks always wake me up

Let me see, only ones I have used.

Don't work:

Pinch your nose, close eyes, look back and forth for text and clock, look at the shadows, motions and actions of people, movement of other objects, behaviour of animals, sun, clouds speed, feeling of air, smell of stuff, hearing radio, music, tasting some stuff, night, moonlight, synchronization between movement of the mouth and the sound that comes out of it, looking at mirrors, my hair, location of objects on my room/school/street, stuff that is within shops and the owners/people buying in them and mental RC, like wondering about what I did before.

Work:

Gravity and Air pressure.

hi walms,
can you be more specific about what you mean about gravity and air pressure? one is -i'm guessing - your ability to fly? and the other?
thanks

Eh, Gravity = how my body feels, pretty much the weight. While air pressure is the way that breathing feels for me, like... uh... change from a city to a forest <.<

That's strange. The only reality check that ever worked for me was nose-plug. But mostly i just look around and realize I'm dreaming

Yeah, air pressure and breathing are the biggest things for me.

phone, computer, etc. not working properly at all, screens morphing, numbers messing up
time on clocks or the sky

I'm like Walms, most reality checks don't work for me.

However, text often doesn't appear properly. I either can't read something at all, or it's never the same thing twice.

Staring at something and trying to morph it (since I can morph things easily in dreams).

Gravity (ex. my own body weight. I don't feel weight in dreams).

Looking down at myself. Am I wearing clothes?
No -> It's a dream.
Yes -> Do I remember putting them on?
No -> It's a dream.
Yes -> It's not a dream (or I've got some kind of wacky dream clarity going on).
