Do you still do reality checks in your non-lucids before ascertaining that you're in a lucid? I did reality checks for my 1st two lucids, but subsequently after the 3rd lucid, I just sensed there is something weird and I told myself "I am dreaming". I'll gain lucidity after that, I no longer need reality checks.

I noticed that the more LD's I had , the more I started to transition to just noticing something was off or for no good reason at all just sensing and knowing that I am dreaming and from that point I do a RC to confirm. I rarely am in a non lucid state and do a RC and become lucid anymore but I love the shock and surprise when It does happen.
