It reminds me of another term I recently learned from the Abraham-Hicks material called "segment intending." It sounds as if it is the same basic concept in that you define with your deliberate thoughts each physical experience one segment at a time. As in the above example of each time you pass through a door or portal, define with consciousness what specifically you choose to create in that life segment (a life segment might be when I finish my breakfast and then begin to leave my house to drive to work, thus beginning a new life segment.) Knowing what you want to intend or create is just as important as dismissing that which you do NOT INTEND to create. This helps me with the daily life bombardment of information and other people's intentions coming into my life and also helps me to be much more creative throughout my day. I plan to practice this "reality check" in my dreams, thanks for writing about this. This is very interesting and something I have not read about before now.

In the latest dream, I remember vividly looking at the tops of doorways and saying 'Reality Check',lol. (NO, I'm not kidding, and yes it made me laugh when I awoke). The rest of the dream was a bit of a mash-up, but THAT part was very clear. So, yeah the exercise works. I'm going to continue with using it it and see how the lucidity factor changes. Thanks for putting this up there. I’ve been doing this exercise for a few days now, and for the first couple of days, nothing happened.
