I guess the thread title is not so obvious, so i'll explain

In this thread we should be talking about the experiences in that while entering an LD you find yourself in your room, being in the same position like in real life... so in these cases it might be hard to tell once you are in the dream already.

I just thought about creating this thread after today's DEILD attempt:
I woke up from a dream and i was still in Sleep Paralysis, which is usual for me, so i took the opportunity and instantly started a DEILD... I kept focusing and making the SP's tingling more powerful. I usually know that i'm in a dream once the tingling gets weaker and that loud SP noise gets quiet or stops...
So once that happened i opened my eyes.... i've seen my room, but everything was dark red... I thought that i must be still awake and my eyes didn't open fully and that's why i see my room a little differently.
I closed my eyes and started concentrating again, but when i opened them i wasn't in SP anymore, i woke up normally...

I immediately realized that when my room was dark red, that was the dream already.... it just confused me... ugh.

So, share stories when something like this happened to you
Also, how do you tell if it's a dream in this case?
