>>13831678I'm going to go on a rant here because this one makes me angry. You get into reading about lucid dreaming and there's a number of "reality checks" they teach you that supposedly don't work in dreams. These include:
>Look at a clock, look away, look back, the time will be different>Look into a mirror, it will be warped/distorted>Use a light switch or some form of machinery/computer, it won't work properlyFor me, the first 2 of those do not happen to me and the last one almost always works fine, and it makes me think other people are genuinely retarded. Clocks look and function at a close enough approximation that I cannot detect anything wrong even when consciously trying to make it problematic in my dreams. The same with mirrors, they seem to work fine. I will say, machinery can be a problem. Light switches, starting cars, etc seem to always work fine. What doesn't always work fine is trying to use a computer or operate a machine I've never actually used. I'm bewildered people use this as reliable reality checks.
Also, what ended up working best for me were complex motor functions. In real life, things like running and throwing punches requires sensory feedback to do properly and in dreams, for me, they're consistently slow, underpowered, or ineffective and just don't "feel" right.
