Hey
I slept for about 17 hours, having a bunch of false awakenings and different dreams. In one of my dreams I actually made my first vivid reality check (I tried to put my fingers through my other hand). I could clearly feel my hand preventing my fingers from going through, so if I can't push any physical boundaries in my dream how should I do reality checks? I've tried to LD for months now and I feel like reality checks are not for me. Right now I'm doing the SSLID technique every night or so, while I haven't had a LD from it, I do think I'm making progress from it but it feels like reality checks are a big deal here too. Do you have any suggestions to go around reality checks, perhaps a DILD or something like that?
Keep up the checks and add or try repeating an affirmation like "I will become lucid" as you fall asleep.
Might be a similar issue like I had... I'd do reality checks and at most I get far more vivid dreams but lucidity was still a miss, added in some "I am aware" as I fall asleep and I got more actual lucid dreams. You don't have to say them out loud maybe once or twice if you want just repeat it in your head as you drift asleep.

That's something I've actually forgotten to do. The fact that I made a reality check in my dream is good progress, added with some affirmations I might just pull it off. Thanks for your help.
