I just started trying to LD last night, and I discovered that whenever I realize that I'm dreaming, the dream starts to fade to black, although not completely, and it feels like I'm trying to imagine my dream, so its not very vivid. And then I wake up, and then I fall asleep back into a different dream.

Is this normal? I keep waking up even though I'm not getting excited about it. It's more of a "Wait a minute. This can't be real" experience for me.

Is it possible that it could be a false awakening?

Any help please? And I can't WILD because I have summer school Mon-Fri
