@pinhooves The next stage is to introduce the concept of "reality checks" to your waking life. This is the process of performing an action that doesn't work in a dream. You are essentially asking yourself, "am I awake right now" and testing the answer. Such subjects include: Trying to read the time on a digital watch and checking if it remains constant. Looking at yourself in a mirror (dream selves often appear blurred), trying to read a body of text. (text frequently changes in dreams) jumping on the spot (dream physics with regard to jumping is frequently skewed). Attempt an act of physical violence. You will often find that you can't punch in dreams, no matter how good you are at real life. You could even just set your cellphone wallpaper to an image saying "Are you awake?" and check it every now and then. My method is to ask yourself "how did I even get here" periodically. In a lot of dreams, the answer is "Wait, what?"
