I'd say that on a day when I'm really thinking about getting lucid that night, I'll do 2-3 RC's an hour. On days when I'm not particularly focused, I'll end up doing them maybe 4-5 times over the course of the day. Typically I do them whenever I enter a new environment, whenever something seems strange, whenever my mental state seems "off" (like if I enter a room and forget why I went in there), and whenever the urge strikes me.
I got lucid again last night, and completed one of the basic tasks of the month (ask a DC who your true love is). And maybe WILD'ed? I was dreaming I was in my grandmother's living room alone. I performed a habitual nose-plug RC and found that I could breathe. I walked around, trying to keep my excitement in check and to remember what the task of the month was. I found that I couldn't. Eventually I did what I do in all directionless lucid dreams - I flew around the room. The excitement of flying woke me up.
Now here's the possible WILD part. As I returned to consciousness, I kept my eyes closed and body still, and recalled what the task of the month was. I focused on letting imagery float back into the blackness behind my eyes, casually suggesting the same setting (my grandmother's living room) to my subconscious. Eventually, the scene formed again and I was about to do another RC! This time I had my task in mind.
I looked around the house for a DC but found it empty. I walked out the back door and across the yard to a neighbor's house. I knocked, and was greeted by a middle-aged, mustached man with a thick southern accent. I asked him, "Who is my true love?" expecting him to say my fiancé. Instead he replied, "There's someone out there who will never leave you nor forsake you. Whose love will endure for all eternity, who gave himself as a ransom sacrifice for all your wrongdoings." I rolled my eyes and said, "You can't be serious." He responded, "I'm always serious about the good lord Jesus Christ." Lol.
From there, I had an incredibly long lucid dream in which I couldn't remember any of the other tasks. I drove to the mall, just because it seemed like a good place to interact with DC's. I had a few interactions that I don't really remember. I do recall feeling like I was going to wake up a few times, and I was able to stabilize the dream state by concentrating on the details in my hands. Massive success! Super exciting!
Now that I've looked up the other tasks, I'll be attempting to incubate the settings until I succeed. Feeling good.
