I heard that reading text is another method. If you can read text then you probably aren’t dreaming. Because if you are dreaming the text gets all weird and unreadable.
Comment on How do you tell the difference between dream and reality?

Well, according to Waking Life, if you flip a light switch and nothing changes, you might be dreaming.

Waking Life - 2001 Film is an amazing film about lucid dreaming, reality, and the consequences of such. It really is a must watch til the end, it has one of those endings that everyone draws their own conclusions about.

On a similar note, one technique I use while lucid dreaming is to try to pass my right hands index finger through my left hands palm. If I feel and see the resistance to my skin, I know I’m awake.

I mean if I basically even touch water while I’m dreaming, I start to drown until I remember that I can breathe water because I’m dreaming. It was literally just rain, once.
That being said, I don’t go around trying to see if I drown to test if I’m dreaming.
