This is the biggest problem with RCs - you'll ask yourself, "Am I dreaming?" then you'll automatically answer "No." I do the same thing sometimes.

Are you in the habit of doing RCs during the day? Do you have any common dreamsigns? You can use your dreamsigns to your advantage.

For example, one of my common dreamsigns is not being able to dial a phone properly. So anytime I fumble the numbers during the day, I automatically do a reality check. My RCs are usually comparing the wall clock to my wristwatch - in my dreams they never match. Anyway, you can do this with any common dreamsign that could happen in real life. Obviously with something like flying it wouldn't work (since you can't fly in real life), but I'm sure you have some dreamsigns you could apply this concept to.
