I found this site a few days ago, and having had a couple of lucid dreams in childhood, but never since, I started reading with interest.
Since then, I've had two false wakenings in three nights. On the first one, I performed a reality check by looking at my watch. Where the face should have been, there were just fuzzy black and white lines. So I realised that I was dreaming, as I never wear a watch. Pretty much immediately I then woke up for real.
Then last night, two nights later, I had another false wakening. Unfortunately, I didn't do the reality check as, even though I was questioning it, I became sure I was awake. After a minute or so, I woke up, and for a moment, had the bizzare sensation of being conscious of both the dream, and lying in bed in the real world.

I've started putting reality checks into my real life, so hopefully I'll start having more and longer lucids.

Can't wait to fly!
