Dreams:
Here’s a fun reality check for waking life:
Get a blank card and write, “Is this a dream?” 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.
Watch this video about dreaming.
