I'm not sure how it happened, but my primary RC failed completely last night.

I was dreaming about something. Then what I would consider a Dream Sign showed up. I questioned the dream by bringing my hand up and looking to see if anything looked weird, my primary RC.

I had 6 fingers, with an extra sticking out of my index. You would think this would make me lucid instantly, but no. I stared at my hand for a while, then went on like it wasn't a big deal that I happened to have 6 fingers!

Any ideas on why this happened? The few times I've been lucid were started by this exact RC.
