Lucid Dreaming | Common Reality Tests

Common reality checks that people use to lucid dream:

• Mirrors. Gaze at your reflection to see if it’s normal.
• Solid Objects. Press your hand against something to see if it goes through.
• Hands. Stare at your hands. Do they look different?
• Time. Look at a clock. In a dream, the time changes constantly. But if you’re awake, it moves normally.
• Breathing. Pinch your nose and see if you can breathe. If you can, you’re dreaming.

Choose one reality check and do it multiple times a day. This trains your mind to repeat the reality checks while dreaming, which can induce lucid dreaming.
