I almost did it!

so i was standing in my bathroom (in my dream) and looking at my hair..before in my dream it had been straight and when i looked at it it had somehow gotten wet and was back to being naturally curly. then all of a sudden i thought am i dreaming? i think wat set it off was me realizing something was off..i walked around my house trying to figure out if i was dreaming and even bit myself..i found it it did hurt a little so i figured i wasnt dreaming..but lately ive been really good at recalling my dreams,almost every morning ..does this mean im getting closer?

closer, i dont think you can get any closer then that hehehe :)! I've done that a few times myself, it happens to everyone!

You were super close. It's only a matter of time before you answer that question with "yes."

Because you can feel pain in dreams, I'd suggest a different reality check. Try re-reading text, or plugging your nose to see if you can still breathe.

Good work on getting so close, it is rather bothersome when you don't follow through in the dream sometimes, but just keep working at it!

Funny how the classic "Pinch me I must be dreaming" actually doesn't work as a reality check...

That is so funny. I used to pinch myself as a RC when I was kid, and it worked until my dreams got more vivid, and I could feel pain in them. Then, I gave gave up RC's until I heard about looking at your hands. I did my first hands RC in front of a mirror. My hands did not appear in front of my face, but they did in the mirror.
