      I would say that rather than just doing that one RC (trying to make your freckle disappear), and then wondering “what do I do now?“ you could go further by doing a few different RC’s in addition to that one. There is no harm in doing more than one reality check, in fact it would be more beneficial as not only would it increase your “awareness” time, but because you are doing more (perhaps more effective) checks, you have a much stronger chance of truly knowing if it’s a dream or not, so no need to worry about the check failing you when you do it in a dream (well it would be much less likely!). Counting fingers and the nose pinch are particularly effective ones so I would say it’s a good idea to include those, but you can change your RC’s up as well, you don’t have to do the same RC’s every time.
