- pinch your nose and try to breathe through it
- Count your fingers
- Check a clock
- Read text
-
- Ask how you got here.
- Ask where/what/why.
- Try to observe stillness.
- Stare at one item for way too long and watch it gain detail.
- Ask strangers impossible questions about your self.
- Close your eyes and see if you remember opening them.
- Check if text and numbers change or fail to stay tell a coherent idea.
- Do not disturb the second ones as it just wakes you up.
- Just confidently Harry Potter your ass though a wall, it will work if you convince yourself.
- Stare at your hand for too long, 5 is hard to keep track of.
- Look in a mirror and watch your brain short out a bit.
- Hit a light switch a few times, see if lights break reality.

Adding to this:
- Phones/computers never work correctly

Gosh, I have that recurring theme that I want/need to call 112 (European 911) but mistype every time... Three digits. But I will fail every time.

Trust me, you won't fuck up if you ever need to.
How do I know? Have called multiple times.

That first one is the only one that almost never fails me.
There's only been 3 or 4 times out of hundreds where I was like, yep, that's normal, and didn't become lucid.

AI image generators seem to have trouble with fingers too. I wonder if there's a connection.
