Hey I noticed my girlfriend has a lot of frightening dreams in comparison to me and often becomes lucid ( she was doing this before I had even introduced the notion of lucid dreaming to her and explained what it was ) but she lacks a great deal of dream control which we are trying to work on.

I told her if she is lucid in a frightening dream she should blink or try and close her eyes to wake herself up but she attempted this last night and it didn't work for her.

Could you give me some more idea's that work for you on how to wake yourself up from these dreams until she has mastered some aspects of dream control?

Thank you!
