I recently got back into lucid dreaming. I've been keeping my DJ for a week and had my first lucid this morning. As soon as a became lucid, I had a false awakening. I recognized this and tried to move. I felt my movements and could plug my nose for the reality check (which proved my I was still dreaming), but all I could see was a gap in my blanket that I had over my head. I tried for a few minutes to get my visual to be anything besides be staring at my ceiling, but nothing happened. I could feel things around me, but it was like that part of me was in a different dream or something.

I also attempted to stabilize my dream by rubbing my disembodied hands together and shouting "increase lucidity now!", but after a minute of this, I woke up. I'm positive this wasn't just sleep paralysis, by the way.

I'm still very happy to have my first lucid since I stopped a year ago, but I'm hoping for some advice should I find myself in this situation again.
