Now that I think about it, the occasions where I have become lucid solely by performing an RC have been pretty rare.
Usually, when I perform an RC in a dream, I'm already aware that I'm dreaming, I mostly perform the RC for the sake of performing a RC, perfectly aware that it will work.
Due to this I have stopped performing random RC's some time ago.
I only perform RC's when something feels off, I spot a potential dream sign or I experience a deja vu, which is quite rare.

And I also perform RC's every time I wake up, in order to catch FA's.
The thing is that in this situation I actually have no idea whether or not I'm awake, so it makes sense that the success rate is extremely high in this situation.


I think that this is quite an interesting experiment, but I have some questions related to thinking of waking life as a dream.
Surely you don't mean actually trying to convince yourself you're dreaming whilst you're awake? (In the sense of, your actions have no consequences) As MindGames pointed out that would be quite suicidal.
Could you elaborate a bit on this? What is your definition of a dream?
