Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Reality check I developed is rolling eyes far up. If you close your eyelids and then roll the eyes, you can notice how it lifts them (the eyelids) up a little.
While in REM and actually seeing dreams, you retain eye control, so by rolling your eyes you open them up and effectively wake up.
This allows me to escape most nightmares, good stuff
ok but how do you manage to remember this when dreaming?
There is no way to "remember" it per-say, you could only somehow train it to be a subconscious habit, these transfer into dreams. Not sure how I did it with mine, I had developed it in childhood, but I do use this trick even in irl when I'm scared, as a reality check.
