Thread: Help! False Awakenings

I'm excited and dissapointed at the same time.


My alarm woke me up at 10. I was up late reading Harry Potter last night so I turned it off and got back to sleep. It woke me up a few more times (5 minute breaks), I got pissed off. I dreamt Godzilla was attacking NY and I was filming everything on a cam (Pre-Cloverfield excitement, I guess). Everytime it killed someone there were quick rolling credits and snapshots of his last moments. At one time it stomped me and my credits started rolling. I woke up gasping for air and after that everything was blurry. I got out of my bed and got that familiar strange feeling that something's not right. Somehow I realized I was dreaming. I looked at my hand for a while (that's my RC), stared at it and realized it was ghostly white and really blurry like an old unclear memory. I really beame lucid then, so I started rubbing my hands and turning around. The dream got clearer and more realistic. GREAT I thought, it didn't fade away. So I tried to get out of my room, but couldn't. I couldn't jump out of the window (tried that once with the same luck). I couldn't fly out of my room through the celling and other floors, something was stopping me. I woke up again and looked at my phone. Strange, the time was something like 45:45 with the second 4 being out of place. I got to my pc and looked at some pictures, then I saw I had no internet and the icons were a bit biggerr than normal. I looked at my hands and they looked normal, I tried pinching my nose, but it already was a bit blocked so I couldn't realize if I could breath through it. I looked at my phone again and the time was 13:54. I thought 'Wait, it can't be so late' because at that time I'd have to be in school. I looked at it one more time and it was 13:12 or 13:28. What a big breakthough. Never before had I tried three reality checks and turned out that the one I was using isn't so reliable. I become lucid and WOW. Everything was so vivid, realistic. I've had several lucid dreams since I'm regged here, but none of them was so real. I could feel the floor, I could hear and feel my uncle in the other room (although in reality he should've left to work about 2 hours ago). I wanted to do something so I grabbed a coin, sat on the ground and tried to levitate it. I said to myself 'Come one, this is a dream, you know you can do this, it's a dream' but nothing happened. Think I just changed it color. After that I woke up fo real and it was exactly 11:00. I wasn't exactly sure how many false awakenings I had, maybe I recall wrong and it happens for the first time this way so I'm a bit confused.

My question is what should I do next time when I have a false awakening? Because it seems that I have little to no dream control. Maybe just walking outside through the door like in RL? I never tried it to be honest (well, I had just one FA prior to this morning).

But it's a breakthrough for me, I've never before felt a dream so real, I've never rubbed my hands ans spin around on purpose, I've only did one RC before this.
