Preface:I was just mentioning in a post that I knew that IRL I was really thirsty and wanted a drink and it was making me crazy, but I didn't want to wake from my LD. Stupidly, I decided to reach up for my water bottle IRL and of course woke right up. Someone suggested drinking in my dream to quench my thirst rather than trying to move IRL. I thought this was a neat way to "bypass" that feeling. So, I'd love to hear different examples of ways that you've learned to "bypass" any obstacles like that. Here are my lists of examples:

(Obviously) Thirsty IRL = drink water in dream
Can't run fast = have a DC grab you and pull you along
Unable to close your eyes and have scenery change properly = enter a door or elevator
