I usually wake up at a random time before I actually get out of bed, but usually I just sleep when I notice the strange hour. Recently I made the decision to try WILDing during that time. I had success with it last night and I managed to get into a lucid dream. I thought I'd do a few RCs just to be sure, and nothing worked. Even the clock I saw was functioning completely normally, and every DC I asked said I wasn't dreaming. After a certain point I just panicked because I figured I was awake and I was taken to a strange place overnight, and I was wondering what was happening to me. Shortly after, I lost control and memory of the dream.

Are there any reasons that anyone would suggest as to why not a single RC would work?
