Every now and then when I have some free brain cycles I'll take a special effort to take note of my surroundings.
I guess I found it boring because I am always in the same surroundings. What I mean is that when I am doing my RC's, I find myself in my usual places (my bedroom, in the shower, cooking in the kitchen, driving in my car) and my mentality will tell me, "Of course, you are not dreaming, you see these places every day in reality." I guess I am looking for something unusual to be happening to me for me to do a RC. My life is so predictable and I am sooo boring! I guess I am looking for me to be in a place that I am not usually in like at a Rihanna concert or attending a fashion show during Fashion Week in Paris. By the time I get to my RC's, I'm already in the mindset that whatever I'm doing is so common, I can't be dreaming. Like I stated earlier, even if something remarkable is happening, I probably still wouldn't catch it as a dream. I am going to take your advise and get excited about the possibility that I may be dreaming, everyday...no matter how boring the activity is around me!
