Dream resets like a game.

I wasn't sure what else to title this as, I'll try to elaborate. I get lots and lots of anxiety ridden/frustrating dreams. The most common one would probably be the "dream reset" This can make any dream into a tedious and frustrating experience. Usually there is one scene in my dream that is chosen for the reset (usually one that requires physical exertion or video game precision like jumping past enemies through a window) Then every mistake that I make sends me back to the "start" just like a video game with unlimited lives.
This has happened SO many times and it drives me absolutely crazy so I got to wondering, does this ever happen to anyone else? What on earth can I do to stop these resets and just get on with my dream?

Edit: I usually have partial lucidity in these dreams which often evolves into full lucidity by the end of the dream, but my dream control remains the same.

I have non LDs do this to me all the time, I have been trying to become lucid during them.

I normally have some sort of scenario with little control, almost like a passive observer, and when I win at it, it restarts, but this time I am in more control. This continues until I have complete control and am normally looking at a passageway knowing that if I choose wrong I will die.
