This week was slim pickin's when it came to LDs - just one two days ago since my last post (last week was highly stressful, thanks to the election), and a frustrating one at that.

In the dream, I was on the street with my friend, when a man in a mask, something of a cross between mime paint and a Japanese kabuki mask, came up to me. I laughed and said, "Hi, how are you doing, I must be dreaming." I tried the finger-through-palm RC, and it failed. So I turned to my friend and said, "Well, I must be awake, then!"

Why did my RC fail? And, is there a way to double-check the RC when it fails? I was very frustrated that it failed and I 'dropped' lucidty, because last time I was just about to try flying for the first time ever when I was startled out of the dream!
