“If you think you’re in a lucid dream, focus on your hands. For some reason, hands look strange in dreams. Count the fingers—there may be too many, or too few, or the number of fingers may change. Lucid dreamers report counting and recounting the number of fingers and getting different numbers each time, or fingers appearing rubbery as though they had no bones, or that they had fingers growing out of fingers. This strange phenomenon has been reported by lucid dreamers around the world and across cultures...
Lucid dreaming experts suggest you can push on a solid object to see if your hand goes through it, or check your reflection in a mirror to see if it looks normal. Another clue can be found in watches or clocks. They, too, seem to be off in dreams. Digital watches and clocks may have no numbers, or the numbers may be hard to read, or they may morph in strange ways.”
