So how do you guys do reality checks without getting realy weird looks from ppl around you? 
I think it’s hard to do them for example when you’re in a class in school or in the waiting line for something etc. etc.
Discuss.
I do them all the time. I could care less what other people think.
You could do less visible RC’s like, try to push your finger through solid matter (a book, table, whatever). Works for me most of the time.

In short, most people said it doesn’t matter for them how they look. 
There are 4 RCs in particular that are inconspicuous:
- Push your finger thru solid matter. Of course, if it goes thru, you’re dreaming.
- Pinch your nose and try to breathe. If you can breathe, you’re dreaming.
- Close one eye and look toward it with the other. If you don’t see your nose, you’re dreaming.
- Read text, look away, then read it again. If it changed, you’re dreaming.
People probably won’t know what you’re doing if you do these.
i agree with what everyone else said, i usually don’t care and just look at my hand. but i also do alot of the rcs posted by nsquared as well. particularly breathing through my nose and reading text… no one will notice.
if you don’t wanna do those (for some reason, i don’t know) just say you cut your hand or something, hehe. there’s lots of excuses you could come up with. but really, i doubt anyone would even notice the hand RC unless they’re having a conversation with you or something.
one more thing about being afraid to do your RCs. you could make it a habit to not do them in public places because of what people might think, then you might follow the same pattern in your dream in a public place and lose your chance for an LD. that could be frustrating… so definitely make sure you find a way to RC no matter what situation your in.
Thanks for your comments and tips ppl!
Good tip about the finger-through-solid-object
I’ll be sure to work on these RC’s! 
You know, no one has ever asked me what I was taking RC’s. No funny looks either. So either no one notices, or no one cares…
Usually no one notices my reality checks, except some of my friends that are also LD’ing.
I usually do the text, clock or finger-through-object RC, because they’re hard to notice by other people. I’ve told a few of my friends that I do these regularly and they assured me they never saw me doing them, so that’s ok Now I think they’re becoming interested themselves in the subject 
Thats a very good one.
That’s right. And there are also absolutely invisible RC’s, as trying to remember what you were doing a minute ago.
I was caught drawing a circle in the air once, after a famous football player bought flowers in our shop. 
Sometimes I look at a computer screen or my phone, expecting it to say something weird like “ceeia” or “LD” People look at their phones all the time, so nobody would find that strange.
Funny that you say that - it’s often considered among the least reliable.
My classmates kinda got angry when I was constantly turning the light on and off, so I quit thatone 
Just to be sure you’re not dreaming…you could be like Siiw.

I do a reality check everytime i see the letter O, which means quite often in school. I’ve done oneRC’s while writing this. I tend to ignore O’s in long texts just because you would never finish it. For the moment I am using the ‘finger through object’-RC, and sometimes the one where you track back how you got to where you are. As that is in my mind, it isn’t very visivle. . Tip: Ignore the bunch in your class. I know I do everytime I see them.
aplz, do you have any irc channel for lucid dreaming?
Of course! Come to #ld4all on irc.chat4all.org (you can use the chat applet under the green “chat” button on the top of this site).
Yey! Cool, thanks!
