      First lucid- false awakening

      I had my first lucid today. I slept most of the night, and awoke naturally. I just rolled over, and fell back to sleep. But I awoke again, and because I almost always have false awakenings, I wanted to make sure I was awake (a few nights ago I woke up and spend a bunch of time writing down my dream, only to find out I was dreaming that as well). So I though "If I'm dreaming, I should be able to fly", so I pushed off against my bed, but nothing happened, I just looked like I had done a push up. I've read on this forum that if you clamp your nose shut, and can still breath, you're dreaming. So I tried that, and realized I was asleep. It's pretty weird; you feel both your bodies. Your real body feels numb, and your dream body feels lightweight. Anyone know what the method I used is called, where you fall back to sleep after waking up naturally?

      Congratulations on becoming lucid!
      WBTB is the method where you get up after 5-6 hours, stay up for 30-60 minutes and go back to bed. You're describing more of a DEILD, where you wake up, try not to move, and imagine yourself going back into a dream where you RC.
      So it's sounds like you did a modified DEILD, since you moved. Either way, it worked
