Thread: Type 2 False Awakening

I think I may have had a Type 2 false awakening dream just now. The first of any type of false awakening dream I can remember. I also had my first lucid dream only 2 days ago. Woke up almost instantly but sure I was lucid.
In the dream I thought I woke up in my bed in my room but heard strange noises outside it. Was feeling really drowsy so was crawling to get out of my bed, on the floor which was wet and there was a sense of terror and suspense.
Since Type 2's are more rare than Type 1, and since I am currently training myself to achieve lucidity can I take this dream as a sign that my consciousness somehow adjusting to accepting more lucidity? Or some other significance it may have?

I'm familiar only with one type of False awakenings. They are a normal, non-lucid dream, in which you wake up and go about your business. Same way, as you do in your waking life.

Noticing your dreams could be a sign that yes, indeed, your mind does pay more attention to them, since you are thinking about dreaming more. So I would say it's a good sign.

If you need any help, just let us know. happy dreams

That sounds more like Wikipedia's definition of a Type 1 False Awakening. That is more common but I think what I had was the rarer Type 2 False Awakening. Still, the fact that I am actually having these completely new and never-before-had experiences when I actually started to practice techniques and learn more about these things is promising, because it means I must be doing SOMETHING right.
