I don't know, was it a joke? Did you enjoy anything about it?

If you'd done a thorough reading of the material on the forum, you'd know that self-awareness and memory are key to lucid dreaming, not technique or what you "know" about lucid dreaming. When I say "forget everything you know", I mean to erase your assumptions and look hard for what you have missed, for you have missed something! What exactly thatt is, I don't know, only you can find that. starting a practice "anew" wouldn't reset your self-awareness and memory gains, of course.

And yes, 5 moments of RC during the day, doing 4 back to back like it sounds like you do, IS very few! When I have a dry spell, I end up spending the entire day sometimes as one long RC it seems, and some intense days like this result in lucidity pretty soon.

Final bit of advice: the most important quality in an LDer is the ability to experiment, self-evaluate and adjust: keep what works, throw out what doesn't. The other is dedcation. Dedication, though, without the ability to course-correct doesnt serve much of a purpose. It seems you have a ways to go in developing self-evaluation.

I really don't understand this thing anymore.
i've been doing a lot of reality checks all these years
and all i get is some dream fragments of me looking at my hands or pinching my nose.
How is that even a progress?
So as you say i have to do like 1 RC every 10 seconds or something?
All this years i kept telling my self, that self-awareness is what it triggers
the lucid dream, and this started to make sense for me, if you don't look around you,
what's happening and what the world looks like, there is no chance you'll do that in a dream world
