So I do multiple reality checks in real life, only to find my dream consious will only practice 1- the nose plug. Which always fails. In each near-lucid dream I will:

1. do the nose-plug (expecting it to work)
2. it works! I get excited, anxious and then
3. I have a false awakening, I do another nose-plug (expecting it to work)
4. and it fails.

What is it with false awakenings , why can I only get reality checks to work once?
Anyone else have this problem?
