Recently, in as many as 5 lucids, if not more, I've woken up very quickly after gaining lucidity. I just read the stability page on the homepage and it said to be wary of False Awakenings. This could make sense, because I never really stop thinking clearly in the transition from dream to awake; just sort of a fade to black. But also, because of what I just mentioned, I usually try to DEILD given that I am in my right mind before opening my eyes. Normally when I've tried this, I go back into a dream, but never has it happened lucidly.

I made this thread wondering what judgement I should make when everything fades to black. Should I assume I'm really awake and try for a DEILD, or should I open my eyes and do a reality check? What do you guys think?
