Thread: (Hey I'm new) Problems with false awakening. :(

Well from what I've heard control comes in time. I have yet to master this too but I would suggest doing stuff like, as stupid as it sounds, asking the blanket to leave. If that doesn't work then see if you can grab some flame, like a lighter or candle, and burn it off. Hope that works

When I wake up, or think I wake up, I try to go back to sleep immediately so I can continue dreaming. If it's a false awakening, you'll go directly to HI. If it's not a false awakening, you'll just see dark.

I've tried jumping, spinning, whipping around really fast, tearing it, closing my eyes and counting to ten... it just won't go!

I accept that I have no control over the blanket. And just continue on with the lucid dream as best I can, ignoring it. It always fades away in time.

Firstly, look down at the blanket and imagine it isn't there. You could try and ask it politely to disappear. Try asking a DC to pull it off of you. Just try a wide variety of things. Good Luck to you!
