I just had a great dream last night. Not necessarily great (I was running from the police) but really vivid. I have dreams like that quite rarely. It wasn't intentionally a WBTB but I happened to wake up about an hour before I normally do, then I went back to sleep. The dream felt so real that I actually did a reality check by looking at my hand (not to become lucid but to prove to myself that this was real) and it told me I wasn't dreaming! But I was. When I finally woke up I was pumped with adrenaline, and filled an entire page in my dream journal. On one hand I'm really happy that I remembered to do a reality check but on the other I'm disappointed that my reality check didn't work...

Any similar experiences?
