I have never had that happen to me, but I know that other people have had reality checks that worked, but worked differently than they expected to. Congrats on the lucid, and good luck with the next ones!

Haha, yea. Excitement, shock, fear, overjoy, it can all wake you up. The point being it happens to most of us our first times, and you need to do it alot to get into the swing of it and be able to stay lucid.

I was also reminded of a reality checking method by JShaffer's post:

Someone would write 'Dream' or 'Reality Check' on their hand in waking life and would check if it was there as a RC. If it changes or isn't there, you are dreaing.

So, it is not rare for that to come up instead of a 7th finger in your dreams.

Thats odd mainly bc I've used that method before and I think when I first looked at my hand I was thinking along those lines that I wrote on my hand
