Hey all, not sure if this is the right place to post but if it's not forgive me and relocate if you must.

So, i've been on a sleep schedule for about a week and a half. I am by no means experienced but not a beginner either, more like a novice as i've started LDing since last year. So I have had my 2nd lucid dream last night and to my suprise some of the common reality checks did not work.

It all started when I was trying to WILD. It worked after a good 30 minutes of laying still and I was in my dream enviroment, which is my bedroom. I went ahead and tried to levitate myself to be 100% sure I am dreaming and not ruining WILD. I could not levitate so I risked getting up and try reading the clock. It did not change (it was 5:30 am for about 5 minutes). Flaw to this could be that I was staring it and not taking glimpses.

Anyway, I tried to remember some other RCs, I tried to find a recent cut (due to acidentally cutting my index finger when cutting onion). I found it, then I looked away and look back at it. It was still there (meaning that the reality check failed? I need some clarification on this one).

Afterwards I tried to do the typical "look for the 6th finger at the back of your hand" and it finally worked. But my question remains, why so many failed RC? Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

Many Regards and sorry for any typos or mistakes I made to the post.
