Lol you're not the first person to ask about the backpack situation. You still focus on the weight of it because in dreams it will be either heavier than usual or lighter than usual.

Ok, first you just have to really get out of the duality mindset. An RC isn't necessarily a matter of asking a question, it's when you primarily bring your focus or attention to something.

Therefore, the RC is GRAVITY and nothing else. Gravity is what you focus on, and depending on the weight of things is what your answer will be; awake or dreaming.
So when you say I have to get out of the duality mindset, do you mean that I shouldn't be asking those types of questions all day? So I only need to be aware during my RC's and only use the RC's to answer if I'm dreaming or not?
