So two nights ago I had my first really vivid lucid dream. It didn’t last long because I had a FA, but it was stabilised and everything was as real as the waking world. Which is amazing, as the few I’ve had beforehand were incredibly low-level!
Amusing: I tried WILD but gave up out of impatience (I don’t fall asleep quickly). However, I was thinking about how I gave up when I fell asleep, so it turned into MILD!
Anyway, when I looked at my hands they had six fingers - like a second pinky, with my real pinky a bit bigger to balance it out.
But I couldn’t feel this sixth finger, it just felt like my normal hand.
I was interested, so I used my pinky to touch the sixth finger. I felt it! But still, I couldn’t feel the actual finger - I could just feel it being touched, the actual finger wasn’t felt (it felt like something fuzzy and ill-defined was being touched instead, but in the right place.).
Has anyone else done something like this? I’m interested in what happens.
Yes, I have had a sixth finger, and that is usually the only way that I usually reality check (with the exception of nightmare creatures). I also feel it, but it fells kind of numb and then it goes away so I can pursue my adventures in the lucid dream. Though, usually I just go into the dream knowing that I am lucid. (I have used MILD for over a year now…) So you are not the only one who has felt the sixth finger! Good luck on your LD quest!

It is my favourite RC to check for that extra pinky. It has failed me, but I recently noticed that it is more likely to be there is I have my fingers pointed away from me as I turn my hand to reveal the extra finger. Although it is based only one dream.
I don’t usually check if I can feel it, or even use it. I was delighten once when I tried to use it and it was as natural as using my other fingers. At some other time it only moved when I moved mu usual pinky. Try making more fingers! It’s fun and weird.
