Hello All,

It's been a while since I posted here, I still lurk and enjoy the site.

I am still very successful with my lucid dreams although I rarely try any more. In fact I am least successful when I do try.
I'd say I have a lucid dream once or twice a week without trying but the reason I am posting this is, I have noticed for a while now that my lucid dream always
starts as a false awakening. I am always laid in my bed questioning whether I am asleep or not. The way I figure it out is I try to roll out of my body.
It is a little sluggish to get out but I look behind and see myself sleeping, then off I trot out the house and into my lucid dreams, I still use traditional dream checks like the nose pinch too once I leave the house. My bedroom seems to be the same all the time but my house layout isn't always the same. To me I don't think I am really leaving my body, I just think subconsciously
I found the easiest way to become lucid and that's my method.

The other night something weird happened as well, when I got out of my bed/body, I felt very drained, I've never had a lucid dream before where right off the bat I feel drained and heavy.
Has anyone ever felt this?

Does anyone else start their lucids this way? Is it possible I am really leaving my body? Do you have your own way that occurs every single time you become lucid?

I've also woke up right at an REM cycle and heard some very weird messages, i'll leave that for another post/thread.

Thanks for reading.

Thesatellite
