While awake, I'll doubletake text and sometimes time... The thing is, I don't actually make a habit of doing this 'every day all of the time'- I only do it when I'm suspicious that I 'might be dreaming' or 'something feels off', or 'I could swear I just fell asleep!'- I usually keep reality checks for when I might've had an FA when WILDing, or to reaffirm that I'm having an LD. Even if I'm 'pretty certain I'm dreaming', I'd still like to see 'proof' before I do something like, oh, punch someone in the face or jump out of a window 'to fly' and fall to my death! Consider it a safety precaution?

Edit: I just remembered that, as a little kid, I used to RC by pinching myself *every time* I went to go pee, because I was so afraid I'd 'not know I was dreaming and pee the bed'. I don't do it anymore, but man, talk about 'practice'!
