Last night I was in a dream and suspected I was lucid dreaming so I performed the same reality check twice. I tried pressing my thumb through my palm and both times my thumb got stuck in my palm as it would in my waking life. It did not pass through either time. I stopped suspecting I was in a dream and lost any semblance of awareness.

I've always been told this is one of the most foolproof reality checks but it didn't work for me. My thumb acted as it would in the waking world and I didn't notice anything abnormal about my hands. I'm relatively new to lucid dreaming and this is the first time I've recalled performing a reality check in a dream. Also the first time it didn't work out. I am wondering if I am just naturally resistant to RCs or if the thumb through hand RC is not as reliable as I thought and there are more reliable ones out there. Please give some advice!
