*Comes the 2nd time to make the RC*
Me - Oooah! i can be dreaming, OMG!
My mind - Why would you be dreaming now, if you weren't before? -.-'
Me - *My mind is right, but whatever, i'm doing RCs anyway! ^-^*
*Excitement feeling fades away*
*pretends to be dreaming*

Me - Nope, i'm not dreaming

Never tell yourself that. After you do RC and you fully expect it to work, just say "next time I'm dreaming, I realize I'm dreaming". Don't come to conclusion that you not in a dream. Because then you will come to same conclusion in a dream.

Don't pretend. Believe. You must have read how LDs can be realistic as waking life. What if this is one of those times?

Without any feelings is not gonna work. Believe. Be excited. Can you get excited about other things? Like thinking of visiting a place you really want to go to? Lets say Tahity, or Moon, or Mars? You know, that you most likely never gonna get there, but you get excited when thinking about how cool it would be. Use same feeling when RCing.
