So I was having a non ld last night and did a reality check. This is the first time I have ever come close to a DILD by the way (the only two ive had were MILD). So I vividly remember looking down at my hands and seeing how deformed they were. In the dream I logically thought "Oh my hands look messed up because I was just outside in the freezing cold." So I did not become lucid. I know that this reality check does work for me because in my second lucid dream I looked down at my hands I immediately knew. So my question is, has this ever happened to you? Have you ever done a reality check, have it work but still not become lucid? Also, what could I do to solve this problem?
Thanks,
John
