A false awakening may occur following a dream or following a lucid dream (one in which the dreamer has been aware of dreaming).

Some dream diarists report writing down the same dream one or two times in a dream before actually waking up, and recording it in a physical dream diary.
It has been recognized that following REM awakenings dream reports are obtained substantially more frequently than after NREM awakenings.

Word count and subjectively estimated dream duration increase as length of preceding REM sleep increases, revealing a positive relationship. [8]

Green was also the first to link lucid dreams to the phenomenon of false awakenings.
