Hey guys...long story short, some guys on here recommended me to try out the DILD method (because of my really good dream recall, ~28 dream recalls per week). Anyway, I'm doing RC's throughout the day in combination with mantras. Everything is working out well, I can see the improvement. But here's where it gets weird...

I laid on my bed and started my "mantra phase". I did that until wondered off and started sleeping. After a while I became aware that I'm dreaming. I became excited but I quickly calmed and stabilized myself. I then did a "thumb through palm" RC but it didn't work. My palm acted just like it would in the real life i.e. palm didn't go through. But I knew I was dreaming, I was telling myself how this is weird, I'm 100% sure I'm dreaming but RC isn't working. I tried to imagine things, hoping that my dream will slowly start to form. This all lasted maybe 5 seconds, and then the dream started to fade away and in a matter of seconds I was gone.

What the hell? lol...And this is not the first time, this happened twice already. I become aware > do a RC > RC doesn't work > dream fades away...

Hopefully you guys can help me, because I can feel it that I'm really really close
