So I just learned about DILD technique and reality checks. This is how my first attempt went.

- Went to sleep, entered dream, failed reality checks(palm, finger count), dream went on, woke up.

- Went back to sleep, entered dream, failed reality checks(palm, finger count), woke up.

- Went back to sleep again, entered dream, failed reality checks(palm, finger count), went on with the dream which turned into 2 dreams, then woke up.

So I went to sleep 3 different times, entered 3 different dreams, and failed my reality checks in all of them. Is that normal, waking up over and over and repeatedly failing reality checks? I plan on doing the nose pinch RC next.
