Thread: Getting lucid was not easy

Another way to think about it is: The fact that you continued doing reality checks even after you weren't convinced you were dreaming yet may mean you actually did know something was up on an unconscious level and wanted to take the extra time to convince yourself of it. Otherwise, you probably would have stopped after the first or second one and decided you were actually awake. So, finding yourself continually doing RCs for some time and then finally becoming lucid is actually a good thing, in a way. It sounds like you're on the right track.
