Since I didn't train to associate anger with my reality check, I won't RC until I think I'm seeing my mom. So, it's very important to identify what you're thinking when you're aware of your dream signs in your dreams so you can make the adjustment.
This is a very important point! And one of the reasons dream awareness, familiarity and closeness with your dreams is so important in gaining lucidity frequently. If you can strengthen the cycle of anticipation/recognition of these signs with dream induction, the results can be amazing. I think this underlies the amazing success of approaches like Hukif's gravity all day RC: he knows to expect it in the dream, and anticipate it and keeps checking this feeling all through the waking day, which (IMO) promotes it happening in dreams, and round and round. An ideal positive feedback cycle.
