    Boo! This is the worst way to do a reality check.

    Best way is to cover your nose and breathe in. You can breath through your nose even if covered in a dream. Don't rely on having to remember numbers or clock faces. Your moments of dream lucidity are precious and shouldn't be wasted on checking your watch 8 times because you're not sure if it's still the same.

          look if you can't even remember how much piss you have on you at any given moment then whether or not you're concious isn't your biggest problem

    One of the few times I’ve been lucid while dreaming I dreamt that I was playing a video game that I was obsessed with at the time. It was realizing that the game mechanics weren’t working properly that made me recognize it as a dream and then, without thinking, I clicked through the steps to exit the game and woke myself up. Weird experience

      I heard a story about a software engineer who had terrible nightmares until he started visualizing the process for shutting down windows. He' reliably wake up after "Shutting down" the system.

      That's a funky version of "I woke myself up". I wish I had a good version. But every time I've done that it's been boring. It's some variation of "Am I dreaming? Should I wake up?" And nearly every time I wake up.

      Look at some else, then read this again. If you are inside a dream, your comment will display a completely different message when you look back at it

      Remember to check frequently
