Sleep event

Well, after a day full of reality checks and a watch of Avatar before bed (you know, for lucid dreaming inspiration ) I was decently set up for some good dreams...except for recall. It still stinks after going so long without working on it. Oh well, I will get better again. I am actually not sure if the RC's helped me out any last night or not. I know they will as they become habitual, so I am not disappointed, but to be honest, I cannot remember any of my regular dreams. So maybe they did help and I went lucid and totally do not remember it; I do not know. But, at 6:00 I woke up to my WBTB alarm, and that is when things took a turn for the better. I went for a WILD this time, and it half-worked. I went right into a dream, but I was not completely sure of if I was dreaming or not. I was looking for confirmation either way, but never once remembered to RC. Before long, I was caught up in a group of DC's comprised of both people from real life and fictional characters. I cannot recall exactly what they were doing, but I believe they were looking for something very important, and although they were not enemies, there was a lot of competition to see who would find it first. I only had to go with them a very short while for it to sink in that this was a dream. The terrain was weird, for one thing. We had moved along from a very realistic looking place to something like a video game from the late 90's. And then of course the Na'vi in the group were kind of a dead giveaway Knowing it was a dream, the DC's bore no weight on me anymore and I did not care to stick around their group any longer. I just stopped and took some time to feel things around me, and before long the realism of the place increased tenfold and I grew more lucid as well. What happened next is mostly uncertain. I feel like I did something first, but at any rate, I ended up in a false awakening and lost lucidity. I was back in bed, lying down. I thought the lucid dream was over and I had woken up, so I got out of bed to get ready for the day. But no sooner had I opened my bedroom door than I was standing back amidst that group of DC's, and it hit me again that this was a dream. Unfortunately, this time I did not think to even feel things, so my lucidity was pretty low. I never thought to leave the DC group and do more interesting things. Instead, I just went along with them and showed off all the things I could do while knowing that physics did not exist. It gets really hazy after that...I remained lucid for a very long time and did a lot of stuff, but eventually I lost it again and the dream continued on non-lucid for the remainder of the dream. When I woke up I had been asleep for over two hours, and I am sure about an hour of that was lucid...too bad it was not very high lucidity, and my recall was not so great. But at least I am making progress again!

I had a false awakening. I do not remember why, or how I had it, it seemed to dawn upon me out of nowhere that this is a dream. I was very excited, but then, out of experience, calmed down.
