Apparently if you make it one of your habits to look at your hands at various points through the day and ask 'am i dreaming' in your head, eventually you will start doing that in your dreams and realise you are dreaming, inducing a lucid dream

But what if you dream that you're looking at your hand and think its not actually a dream? Mind blown .

If you can move when you're asleep then you're not actually asleep and should be aware of any dreams. You're paralysed during proper REM sleep which is why sometimes you might wake up and can't move for a few seconds (although it feels like about an hour and you think you're dying)
