      How does our eyes behave when trying to see a stereogram in a dream?

      I'm planning on doing an special RC, which may be fail proof. I didn't test it yet, but I'll share it here for you to say if it's a good idea or if it's not.

      It's going to be like this (Inseption-inspired): I'm going to print and plastify three flashcards with sterograms in them that I'll always carry in my pocket. My brain won't be able to lie to me, because the stereograms are almost indistinguishable one from another, here's how they look:

      cube.jpg

      donut.png

      pyramid_spine.png

      round_sharp.jpg

      spike.jpg

      (sixth one didn't appear because of my upload limit)

      The thing is: I'll never know at which stereogram I'll be looking at until I actually see the 3D image. Also, I'll never know if the image is upside-down or not. Now every time that I perform my RC, things will work like this:

      • I won't consider human fails here: if the cards aren't in my pocket, then I'll immediately conclude that I'm dreaming.
      • If I, by any reason, lose my cards before I can perform a RC, then I'll conclude that I'm dreaming.
      • In the dream world I don't actually have any eyes (the images that I "see" are created inside my brain), so I won't be able to see any stereograms inside a dream, because stereograms only work when the brain combines and processes the images seen by both of our eyes into a single one. Besides, the brain can't memorize the pattern of the points in the sterograms just like that. So if I can't see the stereogram, or if there's anything wrong/strange with the flashcard itself, then I'm dreaming.
      • If my brain tricks me, and I'm able to see the stereogram properly, then I'll check the other stereogram on the back of the flashcard, and I'll turn it upside-down before seeing it. If the image seen on the back of the flashcard doesn't belong to this flashcard and/or if it isn't upside-down, then I'm surely dreaming.
      • If I see that the first side of the flashcard is a correct stereogram, and if it is upside-down, chances are that I'm not dreaming, but I'll check every stereogram in the flashcards just to make sure.


      The strategy is that if I deliberately conclude that I'm dreaming inside a dream, then my awareness will *click* and I'll become lucid.

      So, what do you think about this reality check?

      This is waaaaaaay too complicated for me personally. It seems like a nearly perfect reality check, but it also would require a lot of effort. Whatever. On the other hand, it does seem like a pretty cool experiment!

      I think if you're aware enough to do an RC just about anything will do. The important thing is to get in the habit of doing them, because if you're aware enough in your dream to do an RC, there will probably be a number of factors that will show that you're dreaming. It's less a matter of having a perfect foolproof system and more the simple act of questioning your reality. At least that's always been my perspective on the issue, i haven't had many LDs, but usually just questioning them is enough to determine whether they're real or not.

      Although it seems a pretty original reality check, the main thing is REMEMBERING to do a reality check (which is what it's all about). Most of the times you remember to do one in a dream you'll become lucid, even if they fail the first time. So simple reality checks work just fine, especially if they're easier to remember
