I've been doing a lot of RC's or just questioning of my awareness (am I dreaming?), but not always on dream signs or things that I'm particularly emotional about. More along the lines of trying to be aware all the time which "reality" I'm in -- not robotic, but also not emotional. Can't say I've had that many DILD's as a result, so far (I've been at it for about 3 weeks). Would you just keep it up, or should I be looking for a better or more emotional approach?
For me I need emotion to get the RC into the dream so I'd say emotional rather than habitual. I did RCs in the dream that I hardly do in reality and it's always the same RC, provided I'm up to it that night (emotionally charged about the entire thing). Or I could get emotionally charged about doing something I can't in real life and most likely have a lucid dream complete with RCs.... Sounds like what Ur doing does work for U...give me 3 weeks of doing what U do, Nothing! U could try adding new features to Ur exisitng RCs but be careful not to override it entirely or U may have to start from scratch again.
