I have read a lot of these questions, and a lot of responses, and it always comes down to do what works for you. If one thing doesn't work, try another.


Always start off by telling yourself that it's just a dream and nothing can harm you. DO this even while awake.

Do your RCs. If one doesn't work for you, try another. Hands, nose, etc.

Look for dream signs. If you see one, it can help you gain control.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

When attempting to diagnose an issue it helps to control certain factors. A routine helps. Go to sleep each night at the same time, eat at the same time, wake up at the same time. The body loves a routine, and it can help you isolate factors that contribute to your experiences.

I'm sure others will chime in soon.
