I learned about ‘reality checks’ when I first started exploring lucid dreaming

A reality check is something you do in a dream that reminds you that you’re dreaming

One of the awesome facets of dreams is that, when you remember, you become lucid

(and lucid dreaming is a limp phrase

we use to describe

a god-like state of being

but thats for another time)

A common reality check is the mirror test

whenever you walk by a mirror

pause

notice your face

the light behind your eyes

(if you don’t see it, look for it, it’ll find you)

look away

pause

look back
