Thread: Waking up from sleep

I got scared once and thought I was going to be late for school. I just closed my eyes really tightly and lay down on the floor, then I woke up.

Has anyone ever tried to wake up from sleep when you are in a lucid dream

I've honestly never tried to wake up from a lucid dream (I'm too busy trying to stay in them)!

I would miss school for a lucid dream.

okey, just wondering

I became lucid in a nightmare i had years ago and forced myself awake..i didn't know about lucid dreaming then...

I became lucid once and as soon i did i could feel my arms shaking against the bed. Is that to do with Sleep Paylayis?
Well anyway this scared me and i forced myself to wake up. I just closed my eyes and pressed really hard telling myself to wake up and within about 2 seconds my eyes flew open and it was like a bolt going through me and there i was lying on the bed.

yeah..during a nightmare..the trip from lucid dream to real world was wicked. Lots of bright colors. Funny thing is when i went back to sleep I had arrived back into the same dream, but an alternate dimension of that dream

haha yea nightmare when i was little this that i yelled sopmething like your just a dream and i woke up

Kyros experience is just like mine. There was a monster chasing me in a dream when I was around 9 or 10 and I suddenly realized that I must be dreaming, so I forced myself to wake up in order to escape the monster. I basically just knew that if I was dreaming, then I was asleep in my bed and my eyes were closed, so I tried really hard to open my eyes. It took some effort, but finally they slowly opened and let in the morning light. That was my first lucid dream, and like Kyros, I had no idea what it was called, or that others could do it too.

Yes. I once didn't like the dreamscape, so instead of doing something to change it I woke myself up in hopes that the next time I'll hav a LD it will be in a more interesting place stupid dream logic. I had absolutely no problem waking myself up at will.

Just in nightmares. but this was before i knew about LDs.

Yeah. When i was younger i used to have lucid dreams but didnt know i could control them. I used to close my eyes as tight as i could in the dream and when i opened them i was awake. i definetly wouldn't want to wake up during a dream now that i know how to control them.

I can end my lucid dreams by closing my eyes or by simply willing to wake up.

lately I found myself consciously waking up from most of my normal dreams...

Yep when I was a child Lucid Dreaming not knowing anything about it I used to wake myself up just because I knew I was dreaming.

when i was alot younger i would have nightmares where someone or somthing would be trying to kill me and i realised that i would always wake up befor i died so when i had those nightmares again i would realise it was a dream and get to where the attacker was and i would awaken.

Ive had lucid nightmares where I purposefully woke myself up, then one time the bad dude was using an anti-wakeup machine on me and I couldnt wake up lol

I tried one time to wake up on purpose. What i experienced was endless FAs. Where i could feel my body being paralysed. I managed to wake up after much strive.
