Tricking

Has anyone ever had a lucid dream, then half way through something has happened leading you to believe that you have woken up?

It’s really annoying. It happened to me on my second LD. It felt like I was drifting out of LD and my brain tricked me into thinking that I was lying in my bed, awake but paralised. I actually believed it too, until I woke up for real. =/ I must have spun like 3 times during that LD, and it was really frustrating to come out of it like that.

Yes, this is a version of a false awakening. I have had dreams where annoying noise has woken me up from a lucid dream, and later i have woken up for real and found out that the noise and all was only another dream. For people how tend to get a lot fo false awakenings, it could be a good idea to do a RC out of habit every time we wake up. That has made me lucid before. :cool:

I constantly do RCs when I finally am in a LD. I believe that they keep me in the dream world and keep it clear…

I’ve never been tricked out of an LD, but I do drift from LD to not-so-LD back to ND.

I’ve been tricked out of an ld in another way-Its more like a dream within a dream.

I dreamed I met a martial artist who was also an illusionist; she went on to give us a “demo” and we found ourselves in a moonlit clearing of a forest with a lake. I was mesmerized by the water, it kind of called to me, so I reached down by the edge to touch it. the water lapping on the shore ws clear, its soft whispering of the lapping water was also there, but I DIDN’T get wet! so I was lucid. Then, the “illusion” faded, I was back in the dojang where I started, no longer lucid.

Unfortunately I don’t get false awakenings of any sort, but good luck trying to fix it.
