The importantce of RC's when you wake

[ModestMouse]

Well last night I realize I'm dreaming then of course have a FA and don't realize it. (was a DILD after 10 min WBTB in the morning) For now on i'm RC'n whenever I wake up. I was so close to my first LD and I fool myself! Full account in my DJ.

same here, i never used to bother because before the other day I had never had a FA before, then the other day I woke up wrote down my dream which I remembered perfectly and then my maid came and opened my curtains even after me telling her not to because it would destroy my dream recall. Then I woke up for real remembering nothing about the dream I had been having except for the FA. Just an FYI I dont even have a maid lol

I used to say I was going to do RCs every morning for the sake of FAs, then I totally forgot about it until I read this thread heh and you know, I've been able to attain lucidity after having several false awakenings in a row, simply because I asked myself "ok ok ok, did I REALLY wake up this time? NOPE I'm dreaming, cool!" but that only works if you have several FAs in a row so yeah, very important to make RCs a habit upon first waking up

[wombing]

yeah, i've been fooled five or six times...sneaky FAs. 'i don't even have a maid...'

False Awakenings are the bane of my existence.
