1st Finger Through Palm

Date: 3/16/2020

To anyone reading: perform reality checks ‘seriously’. What I mean is that you must do them with the feeling that they are a completely necessary for you to tell if you are awake or not. This morning was the first time I put my finger through my palm in a dream as a reality check. What was interesting is that in the dream I was so surprised when it went through. I had to REALLY push it for it to start moving through my palm. I was so shocked that I woke up while the dream increased in clarity and realness as it always does after a successful reality check. The take away: I often do this reality check in real life, but this is the first time I remembered to try it in a dream and the experience of performing the reality check felt exactly like it does irl—I had the same ‘doubt’ that would my finger would go through my palm; I really didn’t expect it to, like irl, and didn’t even do it seriously. This was really interesting and I hope it helps anyone reading.
