I did a WBTB and MILD and I believe I entered a false awakening without any dream in between. I did an RC as soon as the dream began, but was already sort of lucid. I started out siting on my bed in my normal looking room. I walked over to my mirror to check out my reflection and got scared when I saw it and woke up. Is it possible to go straight into a FA, or did I just forget the first part of the dream?
A false awakening IS a lucid dream infact. So going into an FA can be perfectly normal. BUT it wouldbn't be considered an FA If you weren't already dreaming/lucid I don't think. I am interested in MILD and would like to talk to you more about it maybe :D
So it was just a lucid dream that happened to take place in my bedroom? Interesting. What would you want to discuss about MILD?
No, a false awakening is not a lucid dream by default. The same condition for lucidity needs to be met during an FA for it to count as a LD.Quote:

Also, it is very possible that dream periods can begin with a FA. For reference, I'm pretty sure Walms has those nearly every night, and I've had a couple myself.Quote:
