Ok, I have two questions to ask in this thread.

1. When you reality check in a dream, do you just say, pinch your nose automatically without thinking about it because of how often you do it while awake and then you realise you're dreaming and start thinking or do you think to do a reality check during the dream?

2. Every time I reality check (every 15 minutes), I look at the time to see whether I should reality check or not yet. Would this make me unable to reality check in a dream as I'm used to looking at the time beforehand?
