Thread: False awakening but knew right from the start it was a dream.

Yeah, it is still called a false awakening, even if it is lucid. As for the DG, I've never been good at summoning any DC, so I couldn't help you there. The hair thing, you might have been distracted, there might have been some thought or something floating around in your subconscious that messed you up, or it might have just been a freak incident. Things like that happen sometimes, have you done it before?

From experiences related to me by my father, I can say that your body probably just decided it had had enough sleep and woke up. Whether that's because it had actually had enough sleep or because you had excited your brain (so to speak) too much is anyone's guess. What I do to stay in a dream is keep calm (first and most important) and try to engage myself in the dream (talk to a DC, watch tv, climb a mountain). The trick is forgetting that you're dreaming (as in don't think about it) and not losing lucidity at the same time. Doing something like this may prove more effective for you than spinning.

Thanks, i did wake up and realise it was 2pm. I had goten 14 hours of sleep. So yeah i probably just had enough sleep and woke up lol but i guess that was because i had only 3 hours sleep the previous day.

That was my first lucid dream where i actually tried to do something. I wake up usually as soon as i know im lucid. So that was the first time i tried to change my appearance. Ill try again next time.

Thanks again.

yup nothing too out of the ordinary

Oh, yeah, 14 hours of sleep can do that to you. I hate it when I have sleep rebound like that. Waste the whole day and ruin your sleep schedule. Glad I could help explain things a bit for you.
