What a title! That's three "real"s, count em. There's a lot of reality check threads open but this I feel is a unique enough situation to be considered worthy of a new thread.
Have you ever tried to perform a reality check before and think to yourself "...I really can't tell...".? I have before. May it happen to people by psychospiritual issues or whatever else, you just cannot determine what is "real" and what "isn't real". Most dreamsigns don't work because you see coincidences and events that seem impossible on the daily. Looking at your hands and you sometimes see extra fingers in the "real" world. Text warps sometimes in the "real" world.
This all sucks. So, I ask you all: are there any reality checks you can think of/developed which would help the non-grounded-in-realities? I have a few.
Already known
Nose pinching test
It's hard to emulate fake breathing in the real reality you inhabit. If you pinch your nose in the "real" world, you won't be able to breathe. That is fact. You always have your nose on you and you always are breathing, so this is a very reliable method.
Light switch test
This one is much less reliable because you may not always have access to a light switch, dream or not. If you live your entire life in your room and never leave the house however this should be just fine lol. Just keep switching the lights on and off, in a dream the lights won't change but your "real" ones will. Like all reality checks, make it a habit.
Developed myself (i think)
T2F (Try 2 Fly)
This is pretty straight forward. At any point in the day or dream, ask yourself "Am I dreaming?" as usual, but this time always say "YES"! After that, try and fly. No don't actually jump out of your chair and do it, just see if you can lift yourself up. In dreams for me, at least, basically no physical action is needed for getting up and flying. All you need to do is believe you can and use a little energy in yourself. So this one's actually quite easy in my experience. Again; hard to emulate physically flying in the real world.
With that being said, do any of you have any other suggestions? I'd like to broaden what I can do.
