I am in an emptiness of white. The dream is just starting. I see a man clad in brown sagcloth robe. He seems to be a monk of some kind. It's hard to estimate how for he is becaus there is nothing else than him. I can't remember his face well, almost the only thing I remember is that he had short hair. I stare at him and think furiously, trying to remember: "Someone...something...a... A dream! Thats it! It's a dream! Shortly after the dream turns lucid I feel cold. For some reason I decide to wake myself up and close the window. I do so and go back asleep.

The strange thing is that the window wasn't open. In other words, I had a false awakening. Usually I do a RC after I wake up, but as I had woken myself up, I didn't even think about it. Normally waking myself up works perfectly, but not this time.

I've read about dream guards (or they are called something like that). And by that I don't mean dream guide. A dream guard is the opposite of dream guide, not trying to help you get a lucid but getting you out of it. I've read dream guards appearing in dreams after the dreamer has had a long lucid or tried to go as far into space has he can. What do you think?
