Thread: False Awakening?

I think FILD is the classic way to induce False awakening.
I happen to have a lot but maybe it's just me.
I had Once trying to DEILD and today trying to WILD, thinking both times that I failed -actually I was dreaming- I decided to get up. Fortunatelly I RC everytime I get out of bed

Anyway don't trust the fact that once you ve seen your room cleaned up, because next time you may see it just as it is. I m suprised everytime with the realistic details I can see in my room. I can understand why many people consider this kinds of false awakening as OBE experiences.

This has got to be the most weird question to be asked here in quite a while.

You're going to have to do some kind of 'consciousness to sleep' technique to get them. FILD works, because it comes from WILD. I don't think I've heard of false awakenings when DILDing.

Or, if you know any other technique that are easy and have a high success rate, suggestions are welcome.

You could memorize your surroundings and do RC's in the middle of the night to help... but I dunno if that would work

Yeah I'm not sure how you could induce an FA, usually you'll find yourself in diffeent spot when you enter through a WILD or something. But maybe you could do a WILD and then say "I want to wake in my room," and then do an RC but you may or may not still be dreaming. But you probably would have to do a WILD to do this.

The best way I have found to induce a false awakening is to close your eyes and go to "sleep" within a lucid dream.

If you are expecting the false awakening, it is also a way to chain lucid dreams together. When you feel yourself losing control and slipping from your LD, just close your eyes and try to pick it up again in the false awakening that sometimes follows.

I read that just letting yourself fall on the ground will induce a false awakening.
And you can use that to chain LD's, that's not 100 percent though, I was thinking of incorporating something like that into my DEILD, but you can catch the waking point easier in a lucid dream so it's not necessary.

I think he means a way to induce them so he can use an rc to become lucid. Don't think he means to induce one while in a lucid but instead do a tech so he'll get an Fa and surely i think he does rc's every night so he must thought about a way like this to get lds. Part of my tech gets u Fa's easily. Btw I can relate to this question because i asked a Very similar ques. some months ago and end up finding how. Please ppl dont mention my tech to me, i woulda post it on saturday but come on, i got my internet after 6 months since i moved and ive been playing xbox live like crazy. *oh how i miss being connected to the online world once again* cough. well ive explained what he Might be asking so if someone could tell him that...go for it.

ha, you pretty much explained it, but im a girl. i meant like a technique that would induce the dream and you would do it before you went to sleep and in the dream you'd be in your room and atleast i know that i would now for sure i was dreaming. my brain has never been able to remember all the details in my messy room, therefore my furnature magically appears when i start thinking about how its not in the right place.

ive read that false awakinings happen because you are soooo tired that when you are supposed to wake up your mind just "fakes it" and stays asleep while you thinking you are awake.

so maybe you can get yourself really tired. Maybe sleep dep.?

It's well known that devices such as the NovaDreamer or Dreamaker tend to induce FA's when they detect REM and flash their lights. I own the latter device, and would say that roughly helf the time when it detects,
I have a false awakening.

Falling backwards in your LD is said to induce a FA, haven't tried it though.
