Weird reality check in dream!?

Hey everyone, I want to share something that happened last night. ( I am new and currently learning to lucid dream)

I was having a normal regular dream but was a rather vivid dream and can still remember vivid parts now. The weird thing that happened is that for some reason I cannot remember I did 2 reality checks, pinched my nose and I could breathe (very strange feeling) and jumped in the air and I floated down. I got really excited and attempted to spin around but then the dream just sort of phased out. The strange is though I didnt wake up after the dream phased out so is it possible to know your dreaming, dream ends but not wake up? And then Im pretty sure another dream started and did not reality check again that night!

Thanks!

I believe you may have experienced 1 of 2 things:
1: You accidentally DEILD, which stands for Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream. This technique is used by advanced lucid dreamers to chain their lucid dreams together, allowing them to maintain their lucidity into the next dream and prevent themselves from waking up (or in some cases, immediately going back to bed with little time awake).
2: Your dream's scene may have simply changed into complete blackness, giving it the appearance that it had ended when it actually hadn't. It then morphed back into a "normal" dreamscape after you had lost lucidity, giving it the appearance that a new dream had begun when in reality it was simply a continuation of the first (and only) dream.


Congrats on your lucid dream, as short as it may have been :D

Thanks for the reply! Im just happy brain is responding to the training of dream journaling and reality checks!

I agree with what TranquilityTrip said. Sounds to me like your dream scene just changed :)
