I have been doing reality checks for over 4 months now. I have tried to get them in my subconscious mind and also do it on certain occasions. I get the impression they are completely useless. The few times I got lucid was not of some reality check but simply through coincidence. Not in a single dream I made a RC out ouf habit.
You lucid dream masters, I'd like to ask if RCs are a waste of time, because they are annoying if you do them 20 times a day or so. And they produce no result, techniques like WILD or MILD seem to be much better. I also can't image it to be right to outwit oneself in order to get lucid. Doesn't it have to be more natural, more controlled like WILD? I think RCs are only a tool if you want to make sure you are dreaming, but they don't help in becoming lucid.
You just can't tell me you are lucid regularly (several times a week) just through these stupid reality checks.
