I'm understand the general idea of reality checks but, I'm confused with one thing. We experience the phenomenon of the expectation effect in dreams. I had a dream with high awareness where I realize it was a dream and did my reality check of counting my fingers. I counted 10 finger, then i decided that i want to confirm its a dream so i shifted my expectation to counting 12 fingers and i did. Since then, i do my reality check with the expectation of counting 12 fingers. Am I setting myself for failure by using the expectation effect or should this make the reality check more consistent? I haven't had a lucid dream since I modified my reality check but I am a beginner. Any help is much appreciated.
