False Awakenings

Alright, so after waking up this morning and doin a reality check (too bad it was positive) I got to thinking. When you have a false awakening, do you still get that kind of groggy feeling where you dont want to wake up? Or are you kind of all bright and chipper? Not that it really matters, since I dont remember anything usually anyways. I was just curious. Ooh! And if you usually wear glasses/contacts then can you see perfectly fine in your dreams when you become lucid? Or do you have to..find your contacts and pop 'em in?

Most people have them when first waking up, and they go about their morning routine...and then wake up again...and again, and again, and AHHH...it gets really confusing

So eat your cheerios for breakfast, with an apple and a reality check

You just get up from your bed and do whatever you need/want to do.
I find myself writing down dreams during false awakenings... Too bad it screws up my dream recall.

You can get lucid during false awakenings, but it's difficult...

I had one the other night. I went into the bathroom to get on with my daily routine, and once i shut the door i felt the door handle go and i shouted "i'm in the bloody bathroom!" and it stopped. Then i sat down for a crap and the door came wide open and my mother stepped in and she had the face of a zombie and said "itssss oooonlyyyyyy threeeeeeeeeeee aaaaaaa emmmmmmmm..." and then attempts at a lunge to bite me. At this point i think "this is not real" and i wake up.

Almost lucidity!
