What if the RC's just dont work??

in one of my dreams of last night, i was in an airplane (a boeing 767 i think) going to the US, on one of this students exchange program (btw, i AM going to the US on summer, winter on you side of the globe) and suddenly i decided to do the finger through my palm rc, and didn't work!!! that's the second time that an rc didn't work!! (the first was the clock and/or anything-writen-on-a-wall-or-somewhere)....
does anyone has another rc?? is the pinching your nose rc 100% funcional??
sweet dream to all of you

Try taking more time with the RC's when you do them. The RC can become to habitual trough the day to really get into the feeling and question about the nature around you. One mindblowing RC is better than 50 do in a hurry. I dont know if this is the deal with you? But i myself find me in the same situations in dreams where i do a quick check, just to find out that im "awake" to again find out moments later thay i just awoke from a dream.

during your waking state become more aware of your surroundings and your senses. the written and digital clock RCs have always worked for me. you can also try inducing a MILD or a WILD, which are explained in the tutorials!

And try to think where have you came to that place where you are in a dream, I usually have no clue. :)

geez, thanks...i guess that i did a really quick rc that one time, but hopefully that won't happen again
ps: i'm trying to WILD, maybe that'll do!! hehe...
thanks again
