Recently when I have used WBTB I have had a lot of false awakenings and fake SP. In one of my recent ones, I used the RC where I tried to push my finger through my hand, which did not work and I thought that I was awake. |

Try to start using a general RC where you examin your surroundings to look for dream stuff. Start doing an RC like this many times a day. |

False awakenings seem to be the easiest way for me to become lucid. My bedroom is rather cluttered, but not in my false awakenings. I became lucid a few times when I reached for something on the nightstand and realized that the pile of books I left on the floor were missing. Another time, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom, but all the junk I usually leave on the counter was gone. One of my recent lucid dreams was when I woke up and reached for my notebook to jot down something about a dream, but the notebook was full. Yet I remembered starting with a blank notebook 2 days earlier, so it couldn't be real. Paying careful attention to my surroundings seems to work better than any reality check. |

Do your daily RC after waking up..even if it's you are really in a awakening state. |

Nose pinch has never failed me. I suggest doing a second for several reasons, two others that have worked for me are double checking a (digital) clock, if available, or counting my fingers (this one can get a little sneaky, make sure you focus on them, and use your other hand to point at each as you count it. This one should be reliable, as long as you're careful about it, otherwise it might fol you). |

I had a FA I wrote in my dream journal, I woke up and I was pissed to see nothing there. But anyway OT, nose pinch is the most reliable or a clock check |

Spoiler for Secret to LDing:
A false awakening worked for me today! I woke up in my sister's bedroom, but wondered why I would be sleeping there at all. As I tried to figure it out, the scene changed to a completely different bedroom, so I was certain that I was dreaming. |

Thanks, for me FAs are the most vivid, undistorted and normal, so when I do RCs in them I tend to have no belief at all that in a dream and I feel that I'm just proving to myself that I'm awake. |
|
Yeah, I been there too. Only way to prevent that is to really commit to the RC. better luck next time! |
