I got 2 dreampatterns: first is being at school (kinda odd i know) second is videogames. When i got a dream with the videogame pattern i cannot perform reality checks in the dream because it doesnt belong to the emotes of my figure to do them 
any ideas?
It’s not odd as I also dream about school/video games quite frequently. The trick is to look at these scenarios as dreamsigns. Try to make a habbit of doing a RC/Asking “am I dreaming” whenever you are at school or playing video games. That helped me. Good luck.
