I had a really long lucid dream today, because of some weird RC I came up with during a dream. During the dream I happened to look into a mirror for some reason or another, and the face I saw wasn't me. It was of whoever I was playing as in the dream which happened to look nothing remotely like me. So I said something like, "Hey that isn't me I must be dreaming." And almost instantly I had a false awakening.

Now what is weird is that I got up and the first thing I did was look into a mirror to see if it was really me, and it was or at least some reasonable facsimile. However, when I stared myself down in the mirror I was still able to tell it was a dream, and I entered another false awakening. Though that time I knew I was dreaming for sure so just went off and did stuff.

Also I say it was weird because both times I ended up being sucked into the mirror, or maybe sucked into my eyes as I stared at myself in the mirror. The RC wasn't so much see if I look different in the mirror, but stare intensely and see if something crazy happens, like getting sucked into the mirror and having a false awakening. Maybe a combination of the both.

I have done passing my hand our even my entire body through mirrors before as a RC and that always worked. I wonder even just seriously looking at yourself in mirrors might work as well. Either way it was kind of interesting, especially since I did it randomly in a dream. Maybe I will try to do it again on purpose some time.
