^^ This seems like a good time to mention that RC's are not intended as a tool for questioning reality. They are meant to be a tool for confirming that this place you are in is real by asking,"Is this a dream?" and then doing a that will verify your state, that this is not a dream. You should always be assuming that where you are is reality, and that you're, say, plugging your nose to confirm that everything is real. It is after this test fails to confirm as much that you understand that this is indeed a dream; never before.
Somehow that all got turned around over time; perhaps because it's more exciting to question reality rather than confirm reality. To question reality, to assume that where you are is not real until you prove otherwise, will guarantee that the RC will fail (in a bad way, and not the way you want), and could lead to confusion. This is because during waking life your mind knows damn well that it is moving through reality, and to question that would come off as a bit silly, even psychotic. Come to think of it, even during a NLD your DC self is sure everything is real, so even if you are dreaming when you do your RC, it will feel wrong to question reality.
So whether the RC is long or short should not matter, PKJacker, because you are doing the full RC without ever questioning reality... you are always asking, "Is this a dream?" and never asking "Is this real?"
