Hello. |

Welcome to DreamViews. |

I highly suggest the nose pich reality check- it should, in theory, always work, and it is great for me. If you have trouble waking up from a dream you want to escape, you could focus on your real life body and try to speed up your breathing from within the dream. I was doing the nose pinch RC in a dream the other night and accidently started breathing faster and it woke me right up. |

Thanks for the replies (and so soon!). The nose pinch sounds like a good idea since it can't "fail". |
|
So - firstly, the teeth falling out dream is actually one of the most common recorded dreams! |

It was the best of times. It was the end of times.
I didn't want to start a new post as I saw three others with a similar theme: Lucid and can't wake up. I too experienced this when one of my dreams continued to play in my mind. I felt like I had someone holding my eyes open with toothpicks and I was forced to watch this movie play out. I even had a headache in the dream and I KNEW I had one IRL too. But my issue is not how to fix it because it will always eventually fix itself - we will wake up. My issue is WHY does this happen? I woke up exhausted and with a headache to boot! The dang dream just kept going and I, like in another post I saw, actually woke up briefly, went back to sleep only to have this same dream pick right up where it left off! It was seamless. So...does anyone know WHY this happens? Thnx |

I believe that one effective way to wake from a dream is to just lay down and shut your eyes, were you unable to somehow calm yourself and withdraw your participation? |
|
In my dream, I did actually lie down and I also fainted. I woke IRL and then fell back to sleep where the darn dream picked right back up. What I'm curious about is 'why' this occurs. It felt as if my brain just wouldn't shut down - like I wasn't really in REM and therefore, when I did wake, I was exhausted! |
|
I'm not sure, hopefully somebody will be able to help |
|
I find holding my breathe in my dream wakes me up. Since breathing in dreams is linked to.the real world. |
|
But when folks on here have lucid dreams - do you all feel rested when you wake? It seems from what I've read that there is little to no sleep deprivation when lucid. The dream I had where I was very lucid caused severe sleep deprivation. It makes no sense to me. |
|
Id say from my accidental experience of hard knocks, an easy peasy way to wake yourself up is concentrate on changing everything around you to something completely different really hard. |
|
It is probably just better to start a new thread, Goldenlight, than to bring up an old thread from a year ago. That way we can see your questions right away before we read old questions from a year ago without realizing it. |

Thanks - didn't want to break a 'rule' ya know... |
