Hey nice going with the 9th LD too bad it ended so suddenly, but thats still progress. I usually forget to do any RC or SBZ when i get lucid, but i still manage to stay in the dream for couple of minutes. Repeating words suchs as "I will realize im dreaming" has never actually worked for me i dont know why, i just feels odd to repeat the same sentence all over again.
Oh btw, your RCs may not work in FAs , i have experienced so realistic ones that my Rcs attend to fail.... the only way to find out has been to take the "leap of faith" = Jump out of the window while not being sure if it is real or not, this may back fire some day badly... i live on the third floor

Congrats
