Hello there,
You can call me Althis Megas, or Alt, or anything really. I just enjoy being called that.
I enjoy psychology, games and long walks in the rain. I am coursing Computer Science in Brazil and....
I am just terribly terrible with introductions, lets just move on, shall we?

Anyway,
So I was trying to lucid dream, and I was taking a nap, and every time I woke I tried to FILD. And I did that a few times, like 4, without success.
Then last time I tried I actually succeeded, but the thing is that I had woken and not noticed it was actually a false awakening, and I actually induced
FILD THROUGH the false awakening. Of course I woke up just after. It is one of my first times doing it so it was likely, but I would like to know which
parts of the experience where due to FILD and which where due to the dream I was already in.

For example, when I was FILDing I had a sudden sense of plunging into darkness, like what I imagine sleep paralysis is supposed to be, which is weird, because
FILD shouldn't cause sleep paralysis, right? I also went through this thing that looked and felt like a thunderstorm for a few seconds before coming straight
back into my room.
Another thing that I want to know is if lucid dreams in your experience are any different if you get into them through a false awakening. I know that whole
thing about going deeper in Inception is bs, but when I got into my lucid dream, everything was very slow, and for example, I felt very heavy and couldn't
get out of bed, trying to get out of bed made me wake up. I could move my arms and I could check reality by looking at my hands but couldn't really get up.

Has anyone else got experience with lucid dreaming through false awakenings? Is what I had usual, or is it a construct of my own mind? Anyone know why I
couldn't get up when I became lucid, and only then?
