I see that you just joined and that this is your first post. Most of us here would never think of trying to wake ourselves out of a false awakening like you are having. Especially if there is nothing really scary going on. Next time it happens just remember that you are in control and that with some practice you can do almost anything. Try flying around the room for a change. Or try telekinesis. Or try flying out the window and having an adventure. It's all very possible. You just have to believe it. Lucid dreams can allow us to do pretty much anything we can imagine.

Try reading some of the threads about what people are able to do in their lucid dreams. The task of the month/year threads are good and there are many others.

In the eyes of many of us here, you are being given a golden opportunity. Do some research and learn how to use it! Don't throw it away!
