      does this ever happen to anyone else?

      So I was in my dream, and needless to say the situation may feel like its getting fishy when your in a place where you have never been before, and a gigantic red demon is asking you to give him a spine. So I decide "hey now might be a good time to do a reality check!" (which has never happened to me in a dream!) so as I start to look down at my hands I feel darkness enveloping and BAM I was awake (at first I thought my eyes were just closed in the dream). Anyway, has anyone experienced a similar situation where they wake up right before a reality check?

      Yupyup. There's a reason for it, too.

      When you are lucid, or are on the verge of becoming lucid, your mind is thinking in closer concordance with your waking mind. This often triggers a real waking sequence, or a false awakening (because if you are thinking with your clear, awake mind, your brain might believe that you are awake, or are waking, and will alter the situation to fit this conjecture). Luckily, this tendency to awaken prematurely diminishes as you gain more experience with being lucid.

      Well, it might happen at first. But it should become less frequent as you have lucid dreams more often. :]
