RC failed even if it was a dream

Hey, my first post here. Earlier i was silently reading forum for about 6 months but last night i had that one dream which forced me to ask something. I will put here fragment of my DJ.

After FA I found myself in my bedroom. Usually it’s a dream sign for me because every piece of furniture stands in places different then in WL. This time everything was where it should. My friend (Adam) was sitting on the edge of my bed. He had his normal clothes same as those I see he’s wearing often in WL. Smile appeared on his face as he noticed that i am awake. I turned on my computer, when it was ready to use i noticed new message on “skype”. (i noticed this when i was writing down that dream. My regular PC is at computer shop and on my temp. PC i haven’t installed “skype”) The thing is that it was message from Adam who was siting in my bedroom right now, i checked alarm clock and yes it was sent just few second before. Content of message was simple question: “Are you going to play with me in [computer game we usually play together]”. I turned myself on chair so i can see Adam’s face.
-It’s not possible, you aren’t real.-i said.
-I am real, but also i am a dream.-he replied.
-No.-my voice was higher.-who you are?
-I am a dream, check it.-he responded as calm as before.
So i did my standard RCs, usual I was lucid after first one. I gazed in my hand, and it was solid, it never happend to me before(it was more like jelly), so i struck one fist with another and it was brick solid. I counted fingers because in past happened that i got 4 or 6 fingers and when i noticed it “boom” lucid dream. Not this time, I had 5 fingers in this dream. In dreams I never get past first test, but in WL I do 3 sequent RCs. Next one was breathing with blocked nose, also failed I wasn’t able to breath. Third one was to see my nose with one eye closed and i saw my own nose in a dream. All that testing took me less then a minute while i was doing it new text message in “skype’s” window appeared: “Are you going to play with me or not?” wrote by Adam… And he was still siting on edge of my bed, he was observing me with curiosity as if I was a animal-pet that just succeed in some complicated trick. I panicked, everything seemed to be real even my room, my dream sign, RCs failed me… I had feeling like i was in some twisted world imitating the real one, there was a creature in my friend’s body. I felt endangered so I react in one of two ways possible for human in situation like that. I hit Adam-creature in the face. His skin was cold.
-What are you?-i asked.
-I will show you.-he responded cold as ice
I punched him again as hard as i can, aggression and fury fulfilled me. but he started to laugh with every next second his laugh was more and more inhuman.

And my questions are: How is possible that RCs failed me in obvious situation like this? Why my master-dream sign (bedroom) seemed to be normal? Even DC told me that it is a dream and ask me to do RCs. I can add that dream was quite vivid for a ND. I have to say i am confused.

p.s. Sorry if something is not clear. Though I study english for some time now I am not using it everyday. Greetings from poland. :happy:

I can’t say I have the answer to this question, but I too have gone through the experience where an RC has simply failed… I’m also quite interested in finding out, why?

Because dreams are a mystery. We don’t know why things will work sometimes and not others, or why DS can change or even why RC’s fail. The only advice I can give is that if an RC doesn’t work once but you are still in doubt, try again. I primarily plug my nose, and I’ll usually try to breath in several times before I give up.
