You don't have to force any RCs.

It's very simple. If you believe that your RC will work in WL when you practicing, meaning:

- you are able to breathe through pinchend nose
- your thumb will go through your palm
- you have abnormal number of fingers
- your hands don't look normal
- you will levitate
- somebody you wish will walk throught the door
- something that yout trying to change will change
etc...

then all these RCs WILL work in your dream. You don't have to pinch your nose hard, or push your thumb hard. Just a small pinch and push and BELIEVE that it will happen.
