Just about all my lucid experiences have came about from doing an RC in a dream... with the exception of my first ever when I just heard about the subject, and I think there was one more... ahhh yeah, that was when shooting stars started covering all over the sky and it was THAT blatant lol... but yeah... generally, nose and reading RCs have accounted for all my other lucid dreams (short and few as they may be - maybe around the 20 mark in so many years on and off). So I'm certainly in the pro-RC camp, but still... good points have been made here and as we all agree - trying to refine the things that work is a noble goal for us all to work towards.
