When you wake up, do you wake up so much you have trouble getting into sleep again? Do you always wake up after each dream every night? And if it has something with that one time you "programmed yourself" you are a pretty good self hypnosist , and you can use that to become lucid!

If you are very awake when you wake up you could always write down the dream. I myself have trouble remembering the dreams from the first dream cycles. And you could also try wilding, or set the intention that in the next dream you will recognize that you are dreaming and become lucid. If you think its a big problem to wake up you could always try to reverse the "wake up programming".
