But it's alright. You wake up, and you are unharmed. It doesn't affect your performance in real life in any way, unless you purposely make it.

Nightmares, chase dreams, and stress dreams are all perfectly natural. Unless they hurt your waking performance, there really isn't a necessity to stop them.

If you'd like to become lucid in these dreams, you could visualize the dream reoccurring, and you become lucid at opportune moments.
