I’ve been doing RC’s in WL for quite a while now (still haven’t remembered to do any in a dream yet).
But I was thinking.
Firstly I know an RC is just designed to make you question your reality within your dream allowing you to gain control over it. I’ve noticed people saying how there RCs don’t work, even though they are dreaming - but surely if they brought themselves to try an RC in the first place they are controlling their dreams and are thus LDing (even if they don’t realise it).
No, because dreams are based off real life. If you take RC’s throughout the day, you may take one in a dream (without knowing you’re dreaming - you took it to question your reality). Or you could take one because you suspect you may be dreaming (you see something strange).
And then it’ll either work and you’ll become lucid, it won’t and you’ll be pissed off when you wake up .
And also, controlling your dream does not equal lucidity. You can have pre-lucid dreams (they are called that way), in which you have great control but do not (fully) realize that you are in a dream.
