I think I don’t do reality checks because I dream as if I’m a presence rather than a person. I dream in 3rd and 2nd person mostly, so how am I supposed to remember to look at my hands or see if I’m breathing right, if I don’t consciously think about it because I have no body? It's always like I'm viewing my dream from somewhere else.

I'm really trying to make a habit of doing RC's. I do them at least 20 times a day, and it's getting easier to remember to do them. Are there any better reality checks to do, besides the:

1) hold your breathe
2) look at your hands
3) close one eye and look for your nose
4) look at the time
5) read something


I'm determined to go lucid, but I need to be able to do reality checks in my dreams first. WILD is out of the question based on my sleeping schedule.
