Hmm, I look a lot older than I was expecting.

Nah, everything's fine, face is melting like always.

You want to look for clocks or light switches if you want to stay in dream.
Mirrors are often unsettling to the point they'll wake you up.

A trick that has worked for me: pull on a finger. In a dream (probably because I've conditioned myself) it will stretch like taffy which was enough to indicate that I'm dreaming.
Interestingly, after a while seeing my finger stretch wasn't enough to convince me that I was dreaming: I would question whether it was stretching enough. Like "oh, it's only double it's normal length, so this is probably reality." This has also happened with other tricks I've tried, like try to fly ("I'm only hovering; probably not a dream"). It's almost like you build a tolerance for particular abnormalities.
Sorry, that was longer than I meant for it to be

Same as usual. Like a more handsome George Clooney, or Chris Hemsworth but in better shape.

This stock image is great

What if wake time is really a simulation?
-
This looks like something that would appear in the Control game

Hands work too. Count your fingers.
-
Oh no 😟
I appear to be an AI Gen image.

I always wake up when I do this because of the shock when I see how they look - sometimes like claws, or the bones are visible. Tried this as reality check to train lucid dreaming, because it's not really noticeable to others during the day - in contrast to the casual jump to check for flying skills
-
Yeah the hands wake me up sometimes too. The jump is a good idea!

i'm always confused when it looks the same

Mirrors don’t exist in my dreams, I don’t think.. I’ve never seen one that I’m aware of, anyway.. and I have a quite extensive lucid dreamscape.. interesting.
I find the easiest thing to do is check my pulse. I don’t replicate that in dreams, so I don’t feel anything where my heartbeat should be.
Only downside is I’ll never realize when I’m actually dead.
-
You're right, everything looked all wrong in the mirror. But what does that say for you all?
-
I have to know that I'm dreaming to know that I should look in a mirror though.
Or am I supposed to just constantly look into mirrors throughout the day so I knew that when I don't look into a mirror, it's a dream?
-
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.

You might want to get get that checked out

Disco Elysium moment

How would I know what I look like without a mirror?
(Or a camera)
-
Maybe feel your face and draw what you feel...?
I tried. Looks like this. 💩
