Hi MrTash, the purpose of an RC is more to confirm that you're dreaming than to actually make you lucid.

Sometimes if you do RCs enough in real life, you'll end up doing them in your dreams, but this doesn't happen in all cases. Also, if you did end up doing them in dreams, you'd probably just do them as a motion and not really think them through. It's like when you wear a watch so often that it shows up in your dreams, since you're used to wearing it.

Doing other reality checks isn't something you need to do at this point, because the three you're using (especially the nose-plug) have high success rates. When you question how you got to where you are, how long do you do that for? If it's just a fleeting thought, you'll definitely benefit from thinking more thoroughly and really trying to reason out what you did beforehand. Look to see what's around you, feel the textures of objects, notice any smells in the air. Raise your consciousness for a moment and take in as much as you can from your surroundings.
