So then I get a good idea. I do it maybe 7 times, but I havent got a habit yet.
I had a period when I did TONS every day. I never ever did it in my dreams though. I guess it’s not the technique for me…
At first I had to write “RC” on my hand to remember doing it, but now I simply constantly remember to perform a RC.
I don’t count them, but it could easily be up to 20 times a day…
After performing RCs regularly, I’ve never done it in a dream. However, I’m sure it’ll come to me soon 
For me its not about how many times its practcing enogh to get the habit . Most of the time i RC around fifteen times a day but if i do it consiously it dosent work i have only dont it by habit twice and got ld both nights yay
Usually around a dozen or so times, (I just started actually doing the RC’s, I never bothered with them before and I’ve been getting LD’s almost every night, I wonder if it’s helping… 
) The nose check and the “try to poke your finger through your hand” thing are the most effective, (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve done it last night and this morning, 
) I love the poke thing though because #1, it’s really cool looking and feeling, and #2, it’s really effective. Very hyper mood right now, I want an ebil cookie… 
I agree with King Omar, its not really about how often you do it but rather is about making it habitual because those habits have a very good chance of carrying over into your dreams. Although becoming skilled at an LD induction tehcnique is much better if you want to have LD’s on a regular basis.
When you do a RC, make sure that yo actually question wether this is reality or not. Don’t just look at your hands or whatever
its really hard to RC much and at the same time question reality every time.
Simply because one doesnt have the time all the time.
Then it is imo better to just look at youre hand than doing nothing.
But if you don’t question reality, or think weather you are dreaming or not when doing RC’s you could find that when RC’s fail in your dream you might even not notice them at all and just carry on with your dream without becoming lucid.
I do the nose-pinch RC dozens of times a day out of habit now. Once you do it a few times you can do it very discretely, and it’s never backfired in a dream (i.e., it always gets me lucid).
I do it whenever something odd happens / I see something strange or different / I think about dreaming or RCs / I think about when the last time I RC’d was.
I just did one now 
It’s become much like a reflex for me at this point. This way I always remember to do a reality check in my dreams - it helps vividness and confidence!
I always just imagine I am dreaming and this tends to bring lucidity naturally at night.
will try tonight… if it works I’ll post it in here
thanks for sharing.
I havn’t tried doing RC in RL everyday. I havnt even tried it yet. I usualy have an LD everyother night though. But i want them to become more like RL. Some seem real and i do the RC alot in my LD. I want my LD 's to be like a movie and remember all of it perfectly.
I don’t do RC’s much. I only do them ith familiar dreamsigns which don’t happen often but happen a lot in dreams. Probably once a day.
