      False awakening question...

      Alright, i haven't been on these forums much but i haven't really had a question...

      Last night I had a lucid dream, i didn't do anything special, i just went to sleep. The dream was at a beach i think and i carried on like normal not noticing i could breath under water...next thing i remember I'm in a grocery store, I guess i thought i had woken up, I'm very tired and hungry, i grab something to eat but i fall asleep. I'm back on the beach and BAM i'm lucid.

      When i get the picture of false awakening i never thought going back to sleep could initialize an LD, i always thought it was the reality check when you wake up (which i didn't do)

      I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this, or, is it possible to make it reoccur?

      Falling asleep in a dream can cause a lucid dream, but usually not as often as reality checking during a false awakening. I guess you'd call this a false sleep? XD

      I did something like that once. Later in the dream, I realized that the first part of the dream (before I went "to sleep") must have been a dream, too!

      What did you do on the beach? :0

      Here's what I've discovered.

      Waking up is the best dreamsign there is. It's especially effective as a dreamsign if your first thought is "wow... I just had a lucid dream!" The reason is that false awakenings are very common after a lucid. If you've just woken up from a lucid, the chances are fair that you are actually still asleep!

      I've been making it my personal mission to remember to do a RC first thing after I wake up, no matter what I've dreamed. Just trying to condition myself.

      But it was the going-back-to-sleep part of the false awakening that got me... wierd...
      Yeah, a few weeks ago i read about FAs and so i've been doing reality checks when i wake up too, i guess it just slipped my mind... idk
