A few nights ago, I had had so many false awakenings, that I finally just figured I must be asleep. But the whole time I was lucid, I was thinking about some of the tips this website had given me. my "reality check" ended up being me knocking on a door (?) which would have been reality IN reality so I don't get why my dream-self did that...
Then I remembered that you should check to see how high you can jump. I could jump pretty high, so I decided I'd REALLY prove to myself that I was dreaming.
I walked into the bathroom, and climbed out the window, jumped, and tried to fly. (I knew I was lucid) I'd never flown very high, mostly just glided in normal dreams, i figure since it was lucid, I could make myself do it...
But, my fingers started cracking!!!! WHAT?? and I just fell!! I don't see why I can't just do it, something keeps stopping me from actually taking flight, I don't know what it is....
It's like this radar in my head is saying.. nope, wouldn't normally happen, I'm going to stop you at 10 feet and make your fingers crack so that you fall.. which doesn't make sense at all..
So I wasted time making sure I was lucid in various stupid ways.. and after my failed attempt at flying... I was no longer lucid... and a tree started talking to me... what a waste... :roll:
