Fa Lucid That Wasn't

A few nights ago I had this weird thing where I had an LD, but then realized it wasn't one. Basically, I woke up in the middle of the night, and I couldn't feel my left hand. I thought, "my hand is missing?, I must be dreaming! Finally, a Lucid!!!" Then, just to check, I decided to do the nose RC to see if I really was dreaming, but it failed. Still, knowing that the nose RC isn't always reliable, I decided to check again, and my hand really wasn't there, but something still didn't feel quite right about this dream, and I decided to blink and see if I wake up, but I didn't. I felt around again, and then realized that I couldn't find my left hand because I was feeling the top of the pillow, so I felt, under and my hand was there! I pulled my arm out from under the pillow, and my hand started getting feeling again, first a bit of pain, then just tingling. It turned out that I hadn't been dreaming at all, and thought I was because I was sleeping on my hand, and it wasn't getting any circulation. My circulation returned, and I went back to sleep.

Just wanted to share a really weird Lucid experience, because I thought I was dreaming, but really wasn't.

lol. . . too funny. . . I've had experiences where I was awake and I kept doing RC's cause everything kept going wrong. My mouse wasn't working right, a lightbulb burned out, smoke started billowing out of the hood of my car, my cell phone kept giving me a busy signal everytime I tried to call anyone, my food didn't have any taste . . . all this happened in like 2 hours. I kept doing RC's and I was definitely awake but that was the first time I've ever been awake and felt a serious need to question whether I was dreaming. . . oh and my car is going to the shop first thing on Monday morning.

Wow, same thing hapened to me once. I woke up on an alarm for my WILD attempt, and I thought that I was dreaming.....

I dreamt that I woek up, and I thought that reality was a dream. Then I did a reality check, became lucid, tried to do stuff, failed, and lost luidity again.
