My mind's defenses

Hey, I have been trying for a LD for a while now, every time I get close, and finally relize it is a dream, in the dream itself I wake up, and think the LD is over, when really I am still dreaming. It is so hard, cause I feel like it is pointless for a reality check, I guess I have to keep telling myself to do them, but any other tips?

False awakenings - perform a RC first thing upon waking up in the morning. If you get into the habit, it should carry over into your FA’s.

Especially when you wake up from a lucid dream. You don’t have to Practise it. Only to remind yourself alot. If it happens all the time you will no doubt learn that any awakening could be a FA.
