broken iPad and failed lucid dream check

Date: 5/11/2016

I'm in my home and I find out that my iPad looked a bit damaged as it had some large smudges as if it was dropped. When I carried it it was bent and broken almost beyond repair. I was devastated and crushed. I told my self that surely this must be a dream, so I do a hand reality check but everything seemed find (!!!) so I concluded I was awake. I'm extremely down as I take it to the repair shop. In my way there it fells apart completely and I now become certain that it's dead. At this point I actually wake up feeling extremely relieved as I made sure my iPad was in great condition. To this moment i don't understand why the reality check didn't work.
