Thread: Vivid, full lucid dream - DEILD fails after?

I had a crazy lucid dream last night, performed tons of reality checks and even tried flying (gotta work on that). ^^;

The lights in the area suddenly dimmed, and it felt as if my dream was going to end. So, I told myself that I would DEILD and not move as soon as I woke up and felt my bed.

I woke up, but didn't move my eyelids or limbs, or anything.
I waited a long time (probably five minutes or so), but didn't feel any form of SP or see any HI. I finally made the choice to get up and do RCs to try and see if this was a false awakening, but I was not dreaming. Any explanation as to why I failed this? It was a perfect opportunity to DEILD and chain a second lucid dream on, but... =(
