- Keep it where you can see it and make it a habit to look at it frequently, maybe every few hours.
- Every time you look at it, look twice in a row. On the second glance, if the letters are not the same or look different in any way, you are probably dreaming.
- You can answer by saying, “I am dreaming.” But stay calm so you don’t wake yourself up.
