Dear LDers,


What are some good ways to prevent false awakenings?

So far with all my LD's, I have had major problems with false awakenings. My last one ended terribly- where I "woke up", I found two drug dealer type people had broken into my apartment, and they beat me for like an hour! It sucked! And the whole time I totally thought I had woken up to my real life- especially because all the details of my life that I could recall at the time were all the exact same facts of my real waking life, and my surrounding were my exact bedroom, house, neighbourhood...

This presents a problem to me- if you judge whether or not you are dreaming based on how likely it is that what you are currently doing is part of your real life, than that wouldn't help in the case of this dream I had. Should I maybe start doing some kind of reality checks every time I wake up? If so, what are some good reality checks that have helped you guys?


Sincerely,

G.H.f.a.R.
