Reality check.

I've had several lucid dreams, some with no experience, but most of them recently.

Last night, I performed a reality check in my dream, but it succeeded! The lettering on the sign was the same after I had looked away.

This is not supposed to happen, especially considering I've used this particular check in a dream before, with success.

What happened??

"My reality check is broken!"

"Uh, just go find a new one..."

Sometimes RCs fail (or give false-positives) in dreams. I'm not sure why this particular one failed in the dream you had. It is always a good idea to try to do multiple RCs, just to be sure.

yes this has happenned to me before...with my checking the time rc.I generally check 3 times as the first 2 stay the same sometimes but never the third. good luck

Thanks for the tips. I'll keep that in mind.

i have NEVER done a relity check in a dream.... i just seem to know when it is a dream at a certain point when the dream is most vivid and then become lucid... but i do say out loud that i am dreaming which helps me =)

I think reality checks help me during the day mostly because I tend to entertain the possibility that I am in a dream. I haven't done one in a dream yet.

However, the mind can do a lot of different things. I generally run through a few reality checks for this reason.
