When i do reality checks, i say, "Is this real?.. am i dreaming?.. Can i put my finger through left hand? reality check."
Than i precede to put my finger through my hand, or whatever other reality check it is..

Or one i made up - is to open a door to see what's there, shut it, than open it to see if everything's the same.
I dunno, i feel like an idiot doing it all the time, and it can be rather silly and tedious. I feel like its not gonna work and doing it wrong.. Am i doing it wrong?

Can anyone give me some pointers on how they do it??

Thanks
