I just recorded my first 2 dreams last night. They are so disjointed! I wasn't lucid and didn't do any reality checks but it was interesting to know what my mind was busy thinking about (food and driving two things I dealt with right before bed time).

I read through all of the reality checks and didn't see 'touch' or 'feeling' there. It seems to me that in my dreams, I never 'feel' my feet on the ground or hand on an object unless that is the 'issue' of concern at the time. I was driving in the car but had no recall of actually feeling the steering wheel, or even any awareness that is was there. The only thing I was aware of in the dream was the situation, cars blocking my path and the road starting to break up into asphalt and tar. I got out and walked and the road was all covered in tar, no odor and my feet didn't 'feel' it. I simply had the impression it was not a good place to be at the time!

Is touching your surroundings a good reality check?
