well I was wondering how reliable reality checks can be? The story is last...well- this morning I should say, I tried wilding and had vibrations for the second time, I remember the vibrations being pretty intense and going on for a while, to a point where I was starting to ache in my side from it, so I remember thinking I should try moving...so I did. I kind of rolled backward and tried poking my hand to see if my finger goes through and poking a wall to see if my finger goes through that. The wall felt solid, and my hand felt numb as it it were asleep, so at first it seemed like my finger was going through (and I had a moment of excitement) but then I felt this numbing poke, and I was afraid to try harder in case I poked myself bleeding. So I assumed that it didn't work and rolled back to sleep. Sometime later I wake up again, and after thinking about it, I'm not so sure whether or not that was in fact a false awakening, because the second time I woke up I felt completely awake, where the first time felt hazy, and hard to remember when I look back on it.

so my two questions:

how reliable are reality checks? (how reliable were the ones that I tried?)

&

how do you usually feel during false awakenings? (because I felt so blurry headed and tired, that I just assumed I was awake. Are lucid dreams always, always clear?)
