One fragment - and a false awakening, at that. Dream (fragment): False awakening. I woke up, performed a failed reality check, then actually woke up.
When you do reality checks in waking life, expect that you are dreaming already, not just do them mechanically. Also put emotions into them, like "Wow, am i dreaming?". Both will increase chance of successful RC in a dream. Additionally, you could do more than one RC.
It was less "failed reality check" and more "not enough time" because I woke up somewhere between one to five seconds after the check.

Not quite - I kind of glanced around, thought everything looked kind of normal, but didn't question anything because I woke up too fast.
