I tried this at least 4 times last night on different wake back to beds(some seconds within waking, some minuets, some with bathroom break...etc). The good thing about this you can try it multiple times if you fail.
Please note I have spent the last 6 months visualizing once relaxed at least an hour a day. So it was easy for me to fill the black space between my eye and eyelids with whatever random scenes/images came to mind, and then increase their detail/depth
I however, appear to be the only person who when reaching out to grab the dream world object, end up actually using my physical body! It was quite frustrating seeing the object in such detail, only to reach out with my real hands and wake me up completely, do the nose plug RC, and then try it again only to be woken up fully again.
I honestly believe I would have been better off not trying to grab(and therefore waking myself up) and just slipping into the dream when I saw such detail.
But like I said the good thing is you can try this many different times separately in different wake back to beds. Because of this I awoke on one of the final times and was about to start to try to grab technique when I noticed a strange wisp of ether near my ceiling fan above me. It also had a long string hanging from the light part of it so I tried to pull it to turn the light on because I was startled, but it wouldn't budge, and I failed to realize that this was indeed a false awakening(I had been solely focused on doing the grab technique and THEN reality checking).
So regardless of whether or not it worked for me, it only took one night to try it many times, and it resulted in a false awakening because I was in the habit of waking multiple times to try the technique. I'm just that closer to finding what works best for me, and won't have a FA without RC'ing next time.
If you have any clue malec let me know.
