@elexia @erkhyan One time I confirmed I was in a dream because I looked at my watch and it said it was 16:21 AM .

@Potatofox @elexia @erkhyan that happened to me once but I wasn't dreaming, just made a mistake while hacking my banglejs smartwatch

@Potatofox @elexia @erkhyan To check if I'm dreaming, I try to read things - the text makes no sense and the words keep changing - not only the word itself, but also the font, for some reason.

@giovannicuriel @Potatofox @elexia @erkhyan I learned that trick from Batman the Animated series:

"As Batman eloquently puts it at the end of that episode, “reading is a function of the right side of the brain, while dreams come from the left side.”"

I don't really encounter written words in dreams anyway, nothing appears in that level of detail, and it's mostly black and white. More impressions then photos.

@mathiastck @Potatofox @erkhyan for me words keep changing on me as I read things in dreams. Also have a really hard time texting coherent sentences.

@giovannicuriel @erkhyan @Potatofox @elexia #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries has been on my mind since we lost Kevin Conroy. I checked his wiki recently and am only more impressed: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Co

This trick works remarkably well! False negatives are rare for me; almost always the text changes on the second glance.

Come to think of it, false *positives* could perhaps be achieved by some mischievous trickery with an e-ink display and a camera and some image "recognition" to change the text while you're not looking 😁

If you successfully get a false positive you need to upgrade that phrasing from mischievous to nefarious.
