Is it possible to be in a lucid dream, perform a stabilization technique when the dream starts to fade (e.g. by rubbing one's hands together), and to then genuinely wake up and find yourself lying in bed and actually rubbing your palms together (or doing whatever other stabilization technique you were doing)?

I'm guessing this isn't possible, but I'm curious as to what other think or have experienced! In fact, this very series of events took place in one of my LDs last night, only that I had a false awakening rather than a genuine one. I was surprised to wake up and find myself lying in bed and rubbing my palms together, as I had always figured this probably wasn't possible. Fortunately, I soon realized it was an FA and I continued with a lucid dream

I think this is an important question, because if we could establish that it is not possible to smoothly change from rubbing one's dream palms to one's actual palms during the transition from sleeping to waking, then we could be sure that as long as we can still feel ourselves rubbing our hands together (or doing some other similar stablization technique), we could be certain that we are still dreaming. This assurance should prevent us from giving up prematurely, which I for one have done many times in the past!

I hope I'm not asking a question that has been addressed elsewhere. I did a few searches but couldn't find anything...
