How often do you have FAs?

I’ve had 2 lucid dreams so far and both of them ended with a false awakening, both of them very realistic. Is this something I should expect after most LDs? Should I start doing RCs right when I wake up in the morning?

YES! FA will happen extremley frequent if you try to ld a lot (at least for me, I’ve had at least 15 in the last 2 weeks) And they happend a lot after lucid dreams. So do those RC’s every single time you wake up, so you will also do them when you actually didn’t wake up :tongue:

YESS! As the other member above me said do them every time you wake up because they happen a lot more than you would think.
And I have had a FA which was actually a lot of fun but I can’t go into details for a few reasons :wink:
Good Luck

I don’t usually get FAs, but when I do I usually get a long string of them. I remember one morning I “woke up” after my LD, went upstairs, ate, talked to my family, etc, then I woke up again. Like yours, it was extremely realistic. Anyways, I “woke up” and lived my morning over twenty times that morning, until finally when I did actually wake up, I just laid there for a while just waiting to “wake up” again, thinking it was another FA. Those were my first FA experiences that I can remember, and it was kinda freaky. But now FAs don’t bother me at all :smile:

Someone in another thread (I forget who) made a really good suggestion about FA’s.

If you keep a dream journal near your bed, put a piece of paper near it with “Are you dreaming?” written on it in large letters. Always keep it there near your dream journal, and do a RC whenever you see it throughout the day to create that habit.

That way when you wake up and experience a FA, you’ll see the writing and automatically do a RC and discover you are, in fact, dreaming :smile:

Almost all my FA’s involve me waking up and writing in my dream journal, only to wake up for real later on and discover the page is empty :grrr:

That’s a fantastic idea :happy:
