Reality checks are the act of consciously checking your environment for signs that you are dreaming. The intention of this exercise is to do it enough that the action becomes automatic, thereby causing the oneironaut to reality check in a dream. A reality check often takes the form of a simple action that is likely to result in a different outcome depending on whether or not you are in a dream, by preforming this task at regular intervals or when Dream signs occur you can train your mind to better recognize the dream state. A reality check can result in a DILD when done successfully, as the oneironaut realizes they are dreaming and sustains that awareness through Stabilizing techniques.
