Weird False Awakening in DILD

I had a really weird FA in a LD on Thursday night which was not very lucid though I did my first reality checks in it!:boogie:

i didn't remember anything before that but I must have been dreaming or something. Anyways I was lying in bed in my dorm, it was really dark like what it's always been like when I sleep there and I thought I was actually awake.

But then I looked out the window and saw the buildings that I would see from my bedroom back home. Then it got weird and the view moved up, down and sideways like a picture and it even flipped to being horizontal.At that point I kind of became aware that I was still dreaming and told myself to do reality checks.

By that time I was facing the wall and it was still really dark, my right arm slipped out from my duvet and I was looking at a dark cirular patch my on my wrist (supposed to be the watch, but I NEVER wear one since I broke mine) and couldn't see anything 'course it was too dark.
I remember my head started to vibrate and it felt like some kinda wind was blowing against it :eek:(just like how you feel sometimes when you go from hynogogic into SP or SP into LD, i think). and i knew it would get more lucid and vivid. Unfortunately the sensation didn't go on long enough.

Then I checked my "watch" again, but again it was too dark to see anything; and then the "headrush" thing came again but faded shortly just like last time. After that I couldn't remember anything :embarrassed:

The weird thing is I'm still actually not sure if I was really awake when I "reality checked" 'course I could've been really drowsy and the "headrush" feeling can come when I'm awake eyes-opened (between hynogogic and SP).
It was so dark that not only can I not check the time, but i couldn't even see if my fingers were all tangled up like frog finger webs :D.
One thing was sure though, something was definitely wrapped around my wrist. lol this sounds wrong to sick-minded people. (I'm not one lol) :laugh:

I think this dream really showed me how different LD dreams vary in HOW LUCID I am and HOW MUCH CONTROL I can exert in the dream. Because I semi-thought I was awake I couldn't do more imaginative things. It's hard as well! I don't ever remember holding my nose, slapping my face or even seeing my arm in any dreams I had. I suppose I just have to do it more in real life.

I'm glad you tried to RC even though it was too dark to see. Because of the dark patch on your wrist and that you said you don't wear a watch I think this was actually a lucid dream and not just some late-night groggy confusion.

Haha, I have those dreams all the time. Once when I was seven, I "woke up" from a dream to the smell of pancakes. I jumped out of bed and started running to the kitchen, but then I woke up for real and did the exact same thing.

Unfortunately, most of my "awake" dreams are unpleasant. Laying in bed, seeing red-eyed cats atop all the furniture, glaring at me in the dimly lit room. Face-down on my bed, unable to move a muscle as a girl with a knife stands above me. Laying on my back in bed watching my door slowly open and then seeing the grim reaper float over me. In all of those, my room was exactly as it should be (except for that one dream element), and I awoke in the same position I had just dreamed about.

The headrush, vibrations and breeze sounds like the buildup to an OBE. Those feelings happen in about half of my "awake" dreams.
