So I actually only started doing RCs yesterday. I've been counting my fingers, pushing my thumb into my palm, and plugging my nose. Last night, when I did an RC it was like I was seeing both the real world and the dream world. I saw a translucent, hologram-like image of my thumb passing through my palm, and at the same time i was seeing a more solid image of my thumb not passing through. I could see my room and my bed in the real vision, but my hands in-dream were like floating in space. My eyes were closed, and when I opened them my hands were down, not raised in RC like I envisioned. I actually think it happened more than once last night, but I can hardly remember.

I didn't expect to gain lucidity after only half a day of RCs, but it was quite disappointing to think I might have gotten so close. Is this a normal occurrence among people who practice DILD?
