      that is indeed the idea behind reality checks in lucid dreaming practice

      i habitually pinch my nose and try to breathe through it, and a couple times that helped me notice that i’m actually dreaming

        That’s similar to how I evacuate nightmares.

        If something weird and/or unpleasant is happening, I concentrate on an intention to wake up, to move back to my bedroom and open my eyes. If that’s a dream, I do indeed wake up.
