      It was raining false awakenings...

      I recently experienced a false awakening. I got out of bed, but then woke up in my bed. I was fascinated by the fact that I had just experienced a false awakening. I got out of bed. Then I woke up in my bed. I was really interested in what was happening, but I sort of panicked and started trying to find reality. I now regret that and wish I had just enjoyed it. I started having one false awakening after another. I kept trying to get out of bed, only to find myself in bed. The false awakenings were lasting about half a second each, but I could not find reality. I would sit up, and then find myself still lying down. It happened over and over. Then I finally really woke up, too tired to get out of bed immediately, as always. I should have known that if I were getting straight out of bed upon waking, I was not in my everyday reality. I hope I can experience that again and really appreciate it.
      How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

      Sounds like a very abbreviated version of Groundhog Day. And very cool.

      Every .00022 seconds, somewhere in the world, a lucid dreamer uses the can.

      I usually have a false awakening or two per LD. I've almost learned to use them to my advantage. I don't know what it is, but it seems like everytime I wake up again, something is different which really helps make me lucid. One time a monkey jumped on me in one awakening and I was like "Ok, now I have to be dreaming."

      I think almost every dreamer can use FA's as a RC, most people have had at least one FA so it makes sense to check the reality of your situation the second you wake up, especially if it's from a dream

      Wow. It sounds like you had a busy night, waking up and such. As Glorfindel_III said, though, FAs can make for good RCs.

      Sounds cool, if you just go with the flow and keep waking up.

      Then you jump out of the window, and it's real
