try writing RC with a magic pen on your wrist. it works!!! makes you do RC 50+ times a day. when doing a reality cheack ask yourself a number of questions like '' where am i'' '' how did i get here'' '' is this real''. stopping for just 30seconds to do this is better than just doing a reality check, just to do it! thats what i used to do, look at my hands and thats it.

when you become lucid the most important thing is to BE CALM!, i know its harder done than said but close your eyes and breath slowly, look around at it beauty, small touch, use all your senses.

i was at your situation one time but by following these ive managed to stay lucid much longer, im still struggling with control, as in full control of dreams, but we all are learning everyday, no one, even here at dreamview can know everything about dreams and this is what makes lucid dreaming unique and personal

hope this helps, and should really get into it, its worth it
