I have full ability to do this.

I am actually able to get full control of my actual body during a lucid dream. *I just concentrate real hard and get control. *Then i open my eyes. * I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE CAN DO THIS!!

Holy $$## that's amazing, you got a gift my friend.
Oh yeah, I already welcomed you, but what the hell?

Welcome to the forums!!

I am able to awaken at will also. But do not have control over my body.

But, why would you want to awaken from a lucid dream?

Only if it is a nightmare lucid dream. and to the 2nd replay "What the hell" what?

what the hell, Ill welcome you again.

do you really think it is a gift???

I sometimes forget i have this ability in bad nightmares though

i can wake up, i've also wiggled toes and fingers before but nothing more than that.

yeah, it is definately a gift, a very good one to.Not to many people can do that sort of thing.

I usually don't do more than wake myself up once i have full control of my body.

My question is, what about walls/stairs/tables/any other object that hurts when you run into it or fall down it?You must have gotten hurt before.

What do you mean??? I also , one time, predicted the future in my dream. I also frequently sleep walk.

but when i sleepwalk my subconcious self walks around tables and stuff. My sister once told my she saw me get myself a glass of orange juice, and i was sleepwalking.

i can wake myself too if i want ...when lucid anyway lol... it used to be really hard but after a few times it became easier . one thing i hate is that sometie(not often at all) i will have a dream that i get into a fight with someone and ill throw a punch in the waking world while im sleeping .... its happened about 4-5 times that i can remember and two of those times my fist came in contact with and object next to the bed ....once was the table next to the couch actually , which busted my nuckle open, and second i punched an empty beer bottle on the table next to the bed...i shattered the bottle but thankfully i didnt get cut at all. i fear someday i might punch my wife or something while im sleeping lol....if i ever get married heheh.... can we say "instant divorce?"

lol "punch your wife" eh?Sounds like you may have a problem.

lol! Which reminds me. I was sleep walking once and tried to take a piss in the trashcan...

I can also wake up too, but can't control my body.

I cant wake up whenever I want, thats the downside of the astral I gues.. am always stuck up in a dream, and alot of times its not exactly pleasant, but waking yourself up is just running away from something, not for me anyway I always finish up what I am doing, and if its a nice situation I wouldnt wanna wake myself up anyway I gues

The upside is I hardly wake up when I am not supposed to either, so most of my projections/LDs last fairly long. And do stuff alot of people seem to have trouble with..like closing your eyes and lie down or something and relax.

yup, i can, if i dont like the dream or i have a bad feeling, then i just concentrate, then pinch my arm hard. i wake up with my arm above my stomach twisting my skin around on the other arm which is in midair too, ahh well it wakes me up at least!

Yes, I can do it. Sometimes I can even feel my body and I know I lay on my bed. However I really trying to lose this feeling, as I cant summon/change anything while I feel my body.

If I'm too anxious to wake up from a LD which starts to fade, I find myself in a false awakening.

I was fully awake and tried to take a piss in the trashcan once.I caught myself right before I unzipped my pants though.

Welcome Pixie!!!

Yeah I can normally wake up at any point in my dream. I just do. If I can't I hold my breath... that usually does it.

Yep anyone basically who can Lucid dream can wake themselves whenever they want. Thats the fist indication of LD.

Im Rick James Bitch!...HAHAHA

Oh and Welcome Pixie you should've introduced yourself in the Newbie zone so that the other members know that you exsist. See ya around.

Punch your wife!!!! That hilarious!!!! Hope you can control your body a bit better when the time comes...

I can wake myself up from LD's too, my problem is actually to retain them...

Just as seeker said, I have only done it once, long long ago before I knew what lucid dreaming even was, and I wouldn't do it again. If you are in a lucid nightmare there are much more things you can do, rather than wake up. Try spinning, or better yet confronting whatever it is that is antagonizing you...

Thanks... it is amazing how public it is, there is already T-shirts on eBay of Chappelle dressed up as Rick with the famous line. He even said in the last show that some people have come up to him and said it. Anyways, I'm rambling...

I have been doing the waking up control thing since i was a toddler.
