Hello.

I have been doing reality checks REGULARLY,however I never seem to actually do them when I dream. Only once have I actually done a reality check in a dream that I can recall,and that was when I asked if I was dreaming. My friend (who was floating in mid-air) told me I wasn't.

The three reality checks that I do are:

-Finger through the hand.

-Nose Pinch.

-Asking myself (in my mind) how I arrived where I am right at that time.


Now to my questions.
Is it common to not be doing reality checks in dreams even when one does it often?
Should I be doing some other reality checks?
Do I need to do reality checks even MORE frequently?
Should I try some other LUCID technique?

Thank You
