The other night I was dreaming about something horrible I did. What I did is not important. I was contemplating the consequences of my actions while beating myself for what I did. Then I started to realize something was off. I knew that what I had done was in a dream. I thought this and then said aloud "It was a dream" at that instant I was awake. Any tips on how to stay awake when that happens. It's frustrating to be so darn close and then wake up.
