I remember I had False Awakenings a lot a couple years ago, and I believe what I did in order to trigger them was that I always tried to turn on my bed lamp every time I woke up, as a reality check. |

I have thought that I would like a discussion about. A reason that I think that I personally cannot initiate a lucid dream by recognizing it is because when I go to sleep I basically zone out. So nothing matters. My dream recall is bad anyway so that doesn't help. My mind doesn't want to do anything because I'm trying to sleep; is what it feels like. What I'm basically saying is that after I go to sleep the first time I actually take not of what's going on is when I get up, in my room. This makes sense to me because when I get up that is when I do a reality check etc. It's difficult to explain but I'm thinking that if I can somehow trigger a false awakening or make it more likely to happen, I am much more likely to realize if something's up (If I do encounter a false awakening). It is like the ultimate reality check (for me personally). |

You could try http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...eam-ssild.html. This technique is known to give people many false awakenings so that may be something you could do. <: |

Most induction techniques that require you to be awake, such as WILD, will give you false awakenings. |

I would like to add another perspective here. |

I don't think there is a need to trigger FAs. Besides, FAs are normal non-lucid dreams. I'm not sure if they can be triggered. |

I actually had a typical False Awakening this morning, where I did not realize it was a dream. |

Sometimes FAs make me lucid, but other times I may have literally hundreds of FAs without ever suspecting it is a FA... every single time I wake up in another dream, I assume that it's WL and go about my business... only to be pissed off when I find out it was just another FA. When this happens, it's almost as if I'm being willfully thick. I ask myself, once awake, "Why the hell, in the hundreds of FAs, didn't I do a RC???" |
