my daily question: how long does it usually take to get a lucid, i try to do the RC's and questioning if something is real as often i can but i dont really understand how to question real life, i read all those links but i still dont really understand how, please explain!

Some people get lucid on their first day of practice, others take a week or two, others are trying for months before they have their first lucid. It's all about patience and persistence.

I think your problem is that you're just doing RCs blindly, you won't get lucid just from doing RCs as often as you can. These days I might reality check a couple of times per day, whenever I see something weird that that needs questioning. It's all about awareness, awareness, awareness.

no i dont actually i stop and really trying to question reality and not just ''go along'' and doing reality checks while im doing that. but im only aware when i think about it and thats like 5 times a day.

another question, how can the dreams be so vivid and just like real life when you dont even question the strangest things?? can you train so you do take notice of all the un-normal things?

Just wait until you have some lucid dreams and you can judge for yourself, you keep asking these questions, we can't prove to you how real they are until you experience it for yourself.

&That's the whole point of awareness, to question the strange things. You don't question the strangest things in a normal dream.
