    1. The document discusses 10 tests that can be used to determine if you are dreaming while lucid dreaming, such as trying to turn on lights, floating, or pushing your hand through solid objects. 2. It recommends warning partners about attempting these tests while sleeping to avoid alarming them, and having partners gently wake the sleeper before morning to allow attempts at lucidity. 3. False awakenings can precede or follow lucid dreams, allowing multiple periods of lucidity in a single night if tests are run after a false awakening, with some experiencing lucidity up to four times in one night.

    Lucid Dreams

    Part 2
    False awakening and lucidity

    (...Continued From Lucid Dreams Part 1)

    '10 tests for state-assessment':


    1. Switch on an electric light in the dream scenery. If it does not work, or there is a
    malfunction of any kind, or light switches cannot be found where they should exist,
    suspect strongly that you are dreaming. The same applies for any other electrical
    appliance.
    2. Attempt to 'float' in mid-air, or fly. Any success, of course is proof of dreaming.
    3. Jump off an object, such as a chair. If you descend slowly, then you know you are
    dreaming.
    4. Look carefully at your surroundings. Is there anything there which should not be
    present, or is missing?
    5. Look at your body (eg hands, arms, feet) and your clothes. Is it your body and are
    the clothes yours in wakefulness?
    6. Look out of a window. Is the environment accurate? Is the season correct, and is
    the light-level right for the time?
    7. Attempt to alter a detail in the scenery, or make something happen by will-power.
    8. Attempt to push your hand through solid-looking objects.
    9. Pinch your skin. Is the texture and sensation as it should be?
    10. Look in a mirror. Is there some alteration to your face?
    It is advisable, however, if living with a partner, to issue a warning regarding one's
    intentions. It would be most disconcerting for a husband or wife to waken in the
    middle of the night and find a partner switching electrical gadgets on and off, jumping
    off chairs and so forth. Advance notice might well prevent a visit from the men in
    white coats.
    Indeed, assistance would be invaluable in any endeavours of this kind. Arrangements
    could be made for a partner to prod or talk to the person experiencing REM sleep shortly before waking in the morning. Following, we will see, (in the F.A.S.T. method),
    that anticipating an interruption to one's slumber can trigger a false awakening.
    It is interesting to note that false awakenings not only precede, but often follow on
    from a lucid dream. If this occurs, then there is nothing to stop one from running the
    tests and becoming lucid again. Some dream enthusiasts have experienced lucidity as
    many as four times in a single night.
    On occasion, when the dreamer becomes lucid for the first time, this may last for a
    few seconds only, before drifting back into REM sleep. This, of course, can be very
    disappointing, but it has been discovered that the duration of lucidity can be
    extended. At this point, it is worth mentioning that the more one is able to induce
