Hmmm.... A lot of people don't like to RT (reality check) because they're too lazy. They think they have to do this elaborate thing where they look at they're hands, try to summon stuff, ask themeselves if they're dreaming, etc. The easiest way (I think) to check, is simply to pinch yourself. If it doesn't hurt, you're dreaming. It's that simple. Which ever RT you choose to use, just get into a habbit of doing it to the point where you don't even think about it. Remember: the more you do it in waking life, the more likely you will do it in a dream. If you do it in a dream, then you'll realize that you're dreaming, and you're then lucid. Good luck
