I've been able to do this for a really long time, decades. Even if I'm only a little bit lucid, if things go sideways, I either "revert" to an earlier "dream state" or just force myself awake if it's super upsetting (like, friends/wife dying upsetting) It's cool try it sometime

I often do this. I'll "wake" up in my dream and realize I'm in a dream.

the nightmare is your life and you have always been trapped in it. so is this is an indirect way of asking if you should kill yourself?

I remember my body being entirely covered by spiders, crawling over and around me and inside every orifice while I screamed in pain. I can't remember what the nightmare part was.

I fart myself awake every 20 mins anyway so it's not really an issue

if the bad dream comes within about 20 minutes of falling asleep yeah, but it's always with hypnic jerks. i'd rather have a bad dream than wake up with one of those.

When I was younger and had nightmares often I could do this. If poo poo got weird I would pinch myself to check if I could feel anything or not, and if I didn't I would know I was dreaming. Then to wake myself up I would go through this weird process where it felt like I had two sets of eyelids: my dream eyelids which opened and shut easily, and an underlying layer of real eyelid which had to be pried open with some difficulty by getting them to sync with and 'stick to' my dream eyelids.

That eyelid process didn't work perfectly and would take multiple attempts, always done in a desperate panic to escape some terrible fate that was about to befall me in the dream. When I was more aware of the dream state I would think of it like jacking out of the matrix to escape agents, but if I was more deeply invested in the dream I thought of it as sticking a gun to my head to escape a worse death.

No OP usually I just have a massive succession of false awakenings where I wake up, think I'm doing my morning routine, something feels wrong, I'm still dreaming, then I wake up, think I'm doing my morning routine, something feels wrong, I'm still dreaming, then I wake up, repeat ad naseum about a dozen times. This is the closest thing to a psychological hell I've experienced in my life.

I usually wake up and think "Why am I stumbling around so much? Why am I so thirsty? Why can't I find any pants?" and then I get my poo poo together and drive to work and hope I'm at less than 0.08 BAC but I don't know for sure and I'm constantly scanning the rear views and if I see a cop I get so nervous it basically guarantees I'll get pulled over cause I'll start shaking. But then I make it to work, sometimes after pulling into a parking lot and sitting there for 5 minutes and having some water. And thinking "maybe I should call in sick and then just walk to the nearest breakfast place to sober up and then I'll use the rest of the sick day to fix that leaky toilet and reorganize the garage."

Don't be afraid if you get pulled over it's likely the policeman only wants to use the radiating warmth of your vibrating car hood to do sex acts with his partner.

I was just about to write about this as well. Those looping false awakening dreams happened to me when I was on antidepressants. But rather than fully going about my morning routine it was like I was desperately trying to force my unresponsive body out of bed only to fall back into it, or if I had managed to make it out of the bed though intense effort I would be sucked back across the room into it again. While this was happening people would walk into my bedroom and act out these David Lynch style surreal dream logic scenes over and over again. It really did feel like being in hell.

In the grogginess of my post false awakening torment, when I finally meet my true awakening, I sometimes believe that this hellish procedure is proof that there is some kind of multiverse connecting all the disparate yet similar brains of your endless selves, you are experiencing all their awakenings, and then finally after you've been expelled from a dozen minds that see you as an alien interloper, you finally come back to your true self, and awaken. And then I realize that it really just is my subconscious trying to own me because I am a retard.

Like I'll be dreaming that I'm in high-school again, but then I recognise I'm a grown man so my dream tries to rationalise itself by saying something like "oh we administered one of your exams incorrectly so now your entire class has to come back a decade later and repeat", which is too retarded to accept so it breaks immersion and I wake up, criticising the writing in my own dream.

I hold breath and jump in the air like something out of Wizard of Oz. It's worked in every nightmare I've had since I was 8, but one day the monster will be real and people will think I died trying to interpretive dance it to death.

No. Any nightmare where I was in a dangerous situation I would wake up right when I was about to die. I haven't had a dream or nightmare that I can remember in years though and I do not miss that poo poo

if I realize I'm having a nightmare, I do this... weird jump / sudden hard movement thing in the nightmare, it almost feels like I'm trying to jump out of my own skin I guess, but it's always worked that said I haven't had a nightmare in a long time and I really miss the days I used to lucid dream a lot, bye

no, i can recognize a nightmare as i'm having it but can't wake up from it. it's the worst. 28 days later gave me some weird trauma as a teenager and my sleep was plagued by fast undead nightmares four, five times a week for nearly a decade. and then i'd wake up and fall back asleep and the frickin' thing would resume what kind of dream picks up where it left off after you wake up god drat

I have experienced my own death as well as the death of the universe in my nightmares, nothing scares me anymore, so I don't need to wake up. When I dream of monsters and ghosts, I literally charge them looking for a fight.
