Thread: Are all day type RC's necessary?

So the big thing I guess is to have some sort of constant reality check going for you. (Hukif's Gravity RC, ADA, etc.) My question is...are these necessary to LD? It seems that the people who started LDing when it first become more popular just used RC's at random points or when they see dream signs to get lucid in their dreams. Or they do something that you only do for a few second to a minute at different points throughout the day.

Those people seem to be able to LD at will as well as the people that practiced all day techniques. So could you potentially just do RC's with actual meaningful questioning (and looking around at my environment) to increase your awareness? Would that carry over into dreams as well?
