    Bedtime: 12:00
    WBTB: 5:30

    Aids: None

    Recall: Very Low
    Vividness: Very Low

    I was at Half Price Books and saw A (my fifth grade crush) there. I was still interested in him (definitely not IWL), but knew it wouldn't work because he had a wife and kids. Then found out somehow/became aware that his wife had passed away.

    Post-WBTB

    False awakening: my phone alarm went off. I saw myself pick up the phone and turn it off. Then I realized that alarm is still going off and wondered why. I woke up and it was still on my nightstand.

      False awakening huh? Sounds like you might have started doing SSILD. If so, prepare for a lot more of these!

      Here's my little hypocritical piece of advice, which I failed to follow in my own FA this morning: try to form the habit of reality checking when you wake up and before getting out of bed. I've failed to get this habit totally cemented myself, so I'll be working hard on this one as well.

      Nothing like a good FA to start the day.

      Have you tried using the alarms that shut off automatically? It sounds like your mind knew what you needed to do and started dreaming about it. That mini-dream could be used to get into a full length lucid dream and having an alarm that brings you to the point of awareness without destroying your sleep completely might help.

      Unfortunately, this alarm needed to wake me up. That's a good idea for the weekend, though. I might actually give me DreamZ app another shot. It has different sounds that play when you're (supposedly) REMing and then shut off.
