Whenever i do reality checks, my final conclusion is that i say " I am not dreaming, I am awake ". I've noticed in my dreams that i am doing checks, observing results that would suggest that i'm dreaming (changing letters, numbers, weird experiences), but i always conclude with, " I am awake" or "I am not dreaming". It just seems that i am in the habit of doing checks, then stating im not dreaming, so when i do them in dreams, im almost waiting to say that im not dreaming even if crazy shit is happening.

Does anyone have a way to practice reality checks while awake with a conclusion that would break this habit that might make me less likely to anticipate that i am awake?

I was thinking about recreating dream-like scenarios or actions while awake and concluding with "this could be a dream", but i don't think that if i did this in a dream that it would lead to lucidity, but just a meaningless statement.
