Anyway, thank you for your input with the RCs. I think the thing I'm facing right now is trying to be resilient to them becoming rote. I want to feel there's meaning behind my RCs so they will be effective within my dreams. I'm not sure how to sustain it over longer periods of time. Hitting the month mark with some consistency, the last couple of days have seemed a little more difficult in general, though I still have good RC moments.
I'd really like to try reading text in dreams. It seems like I've read that is one of the best RCs you can do is read and reread some text.
Ah, the appearance of the floating box would have made me think I was dreaming as well! Too bad it wasn't a dream, but it's great you're on the lookout for those moments.
