You should consider looking down at your feet or the place where you are standing.

No one can guess correctly because anything is possible in your dream.

You can also check your hands and count your fingers, if they aren't accurate then you are dreaming. Counting fingers is a reality check used by almost everyone these days and its also very effective.

Perform this test alone otherwise, people will see you in a suspicious way.

2. Pushing walls

Many people have tried this one and in most cases either wall becomes soft or it goes far away as if you have so much power.

You could also notice that your hands might go inside and even your entire body. You can enjoy being a ghost and also realize that you are in Fact, Dreaming.

Do you find it hard to remember how are went somewhere or what you were doing a while ago? If that's the case, you might be dreaming.

Our brain is programmed to delete the previous information of dreams. On average, a person has 3-5 dreams per night. We forgot most of the dreams because of its shorter duration.

The dreams we remember ( not completely), are of longer period or longer REM sleep in the late morning.

Try remembering what just happened & how you went to a place by increasing your memory and awareness.

Reading anything or looking at symbols twice is the most effective technique as mentioned in the book, Exploring the world of lucid dreaming.

Authors of the book talk about finding a text, reading it, look away & reread.
As you do so, text changes and don't remain the same i.e weird symbols or hieroglyphs.

No one can tell what it might turn out, but it sure that you wouldn't be able to read it in the dream.

If you are an avid reader, then its very easy for you because you spend a lot of time with books.
