When you do a RC, really ask yourself if you could be dreaming.
Like counting your fingers, you just count them 5 fingers, in a dream you just count them, okay 6/7 fingers.
When you count them IRL count 5 fingers, okay that's right this must be the waking life, check your surroundings, okay this is definitely not a dream. You must really be sure you are not dreaming, not just count them and that's it.

Hope this helps.
