Well, Mew, you certainly sound dedicated, at least for now. If it lasts, and reality checks become a true habit, you might get there.

I was worried and expectant about a lot of aspects too, like... the dream dragging me along at such a pace that I never was able to stop for an RC... or if I got so used to counting five fingers in the waking world that I would just naturally count five fingers while asleep.

As for the first... well, I still intend to try and train myself to RC more often, and in almost any given situation (if I can get away with it without looking crazy). As for the second, my only DILD would teach me that it's not that important. The act of checking for me in that one DILD was enough to trigger some kind of mental link to the thoughts of lucid dreaming, and thus I became lucid.

I hope I helped at least a little.
