Yeah I got into the habit of trying to put my finger through my palm whenever something strange happened... not into the habit of questioning whether or not it was reality. So for a while I had dreams where something strange caught my attention and I literally said to myself in the dream, "Whoa that's the kind of weird thing I'm supposed to be doing reality checks for so I can catch it next time I'm dreaming!" Then I'd half-ass the RC, not actually question the state, have the RC fail, and continue on in the dream

if you really check reality every 5 minutes, it shouldnt be that long untill you have a DILD. however, if you just do what people say to do to 'reality check', it wont do anything. like shift said, if you're half-assing the checking of the reality, the checks wont do anything for you while dreaming.

Just when we think its a simple reality check ( is it a dream or not ) our complex brain adds a new dimension to it.
