Thread: Reality check failed but I didnt gain lucidy?

Last night i saw a nightmare, but i realized it was a dream.
When the monster from my nightmare started coming towards me i just laughed, then i did a reality check, closed my nose with my hand and breathed. And suddenly i could breathe! i was dreaming!

i dont know if i woke up for less than one second or so, but i dont think i was lucid anymore, or i was lucid with VERY VERY little control over what was going to happen.

What did i do wrong?
im guessing i got too excited and somehow, i dunno, woke up for just a super tiny second, i dont remember waking up though.

Anyways this was my first lucid experience, so im not surprised everything didn't go as planned.

My first lucid experiance was something like that. Did a reality check and got excited and woke up. Next time I beacame lucid i got excited but had a false awakening and gained lucidity again but had crap control. You're doing nothing wrong. Getting excited is common problem for newbies, but you'll get over them.

phew, okies
i know ill succeed next time

oh, and i dont mind at all that i didnt get to fly n stuff, im glad im making progress ^_ ^

Congrats Snooze on having yourself a LD may you have many more to come. And you are right you are making good progress it only takes 1 LD to get you in the swing of things.

Hey Snooze, i think that you did experience a lucid dream, but with very low lucidity, maybe after doing the RC you triggered a FA possibly, i could be wrong but you definately did well to get that far, i wish i could have nightmares like some people. Well done though!
