Reality checks that work and dont’ work for me

• Question: What is a reality Check,
  • Answer: A test you do in waking life which in a dream won’t work.
  • Reason: This allows one to become aware they are dreaming when asleep.

So far, the only consistent reality check which works for me (other than being unable to turn on lights in house in the middle of the night) is doing the old fashion nose plug. All you do is plug your nose, and if you can breathe through it while plugging it, you know you are asleep.

I have tried putting my pointer finger through the palm of my hand (which is supposed to go through while dreaming), but this has never worked for me in a dream.

I will update this post if I have more luck with other methods.
