Thread: Reality Checks

Post any reality checksu can you can think of....

Count fingers
Pinch nose
Look at text, look away, then look back
Finger though palm

Look at the numbers on a clock, look away for a few seconds, look back.

Bahaha By the way, I love your new signature picture Loaf. xD

When I am out and about, I ask myself the below questions:

1. Why am I here? (I am at work, for my job or I am on a train, on my way to work)
2. Where am I going? (to the post office)
3. Where did I come from? (from home)
4. What are some things I did today? (spoke to a friend)

When I am at home:

* look at digital watch/text, away, again
* look for oddities in my surroundings

look at your surroundings and try to remember how you got there

Stare at one spot for ten seconds. Movements are crucial to REM and things will distort heavily.
Can you see your nose with an eye closed?
Are you seeing perfectly without glasses?
Can you see the frame of your glasses and the blurred area outside?
Expect something to happen genuinly, did it?
Pull on your fingers, do they stretch?
Look at your clothes, do you own them?
Think about the past five minutes.
Did you just do something you're scared to do in real life? (Initiate sex, yell something embarrasing)
What time is it? Does this make sense?
Why am I here?
Just realize you are dreaming, did you feel free?

I could go on longer.

Think about sex. If you wake up, you were asleep.

I'm sure most people will naturally use that RC.

I do these:

- Finger through palm.

- Breath while pinching nose.

- See your hands and count the fingers.
