Reality Checks.

Reality checks are a simple yet effective method to inducing lucidity in dreams. The dreamer simply question their reality in there waking state this repletion is absorbed by the subconscious, this in turn raises awareness and allows the dreamer to identify more quickly that they are dreaming. This realisation is the key to becoming conscious in dreams and controlling them from within.
          
In short reality checks increase awareness and act as a trigger to lucid dream.
SO.....
          There are 2 types of reality checks:
          1. Questions?
       2. Visual Checks.


The most basic reality checks are to simply ask yourself questions.

  • Am i awake right now?
  • Is this a dream?
  • How do i know?
  • Is this place familiar?
you will know because you can see and feel and most of all because nothing out of the ordinary has happened. In a dream something weird will WILL HAPPEN.
So......
          If you constantly look at your watch throughout the day recognising the time. Eventually this process will appear in your dreams, however in a dream the time will be blurred or in some way different, this will prompt a visual Que. and allow you conscious to take over.

Below are some examples on how time might appear different in dreams compared to reality.

Visual reality Checks:
Most of our dreams are based on what we have seen throughout the day. Our brains react brilliantly to repetition and visual stimulant so the more you see something the more likely your are to come across this in a dream.

Below are a list of Visual reality checks, when practicing these during the day keep note of the fact nothing happens. Ask yourself the question does anything unusual happening in a dream something strange will occur.

Breathing - can you hold your nose and mouth shut and still breathe?
Jumping - when you jump, do you float back down?
Reading - can you read a sentence twice without it changing?
Vision - is your vision clearer or blurrier than normal?
Hands - can you push your right fingers through your left hand?
Time - can you read a clock face or digital watch?
Magic - can you fly, shape shift, or walk through walls?
Lights - do light switches work properly?
Mirrors - does your reflection look normal in the mirror?
Memory - what day is it and what are you doing now?
Logic - can you add up two numbers for a correct answer?

In a dream the above will be distorted in some way!
i.e 
Lights: When you flick a switch the lights will never just turn on and off, they wont be effected or the switch itself will be in some way distorted.

When you spot a dream sign, do a reality check!





Reality Checks are simply:


BRAIN TRAINING.



A bit of a slow video on doorways which are a great example of a reality check. this is the sort of repletion that is required.
