Lack of dream control/excessive false awakenings. Help?

[FluffySheep]

I used to be obsessed with the whole idea of lucid dreaming a few years ago, but I settled down and didn't really think about it much anymore until lately. The reason its on my mind again is because I've been having ridiculous amounts of them. I used to struggle to just have one and now I'm having them so often, I kind of got annoyed in my last one, yesterday morning. They're ALWAYS the same. I wake up in my bed, everything is dark as it would be at night, somehow realize i'm dreaming and immediately get this awful paranoid feeling that I need to get out of my house asap. So I rush out quickly with the feeling that something is in the room with me but once I'm outside I'm okay and I make things get brighter. There's always the first thing I want to do, and thats make my crush appear in front of me x). I've wasted so many dreams trying this because every time i mess up. Either I can't get him to appear at all, or if he does he looks extremely different. But once I succeed in doing this, I always have a false awakening so I can't even do anything. Still aware that I'm dreaming, I go and try to do the same thing, waking up yet again, generally with the sinister feeling in my room. I may have 5-6 false awakenings in one dream. I hate these false awakenings, recently something really scary happened in one, and another one was a close call but i got out of my house in time. I used to love lucid dreaming and do so many fun things but I just can't get them to last anymore because I just get a chain of false awakenings. Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and what I can do about it?

Well, all you need to know is that it's just a dream. Have you tried communicating with this sensation? Ask it why it is there and don't be scared.

Honestly there's one thing I'm always thinking is there when I'm feeling that sensation but I'm a little embarrassed to say it haha, it's something I was afraid of as a kid that I would see standing in my doorway literally almost every night. I'm not sure if I was sleeping or awake, either way its a fictional character so I know its imaginary but it still scares me and i actually think I felt it pinching my back as i was leaving my house in one dream.

Ooooo lucid nightmares. What a fantastic opportunity to confront what's scaring you! There are a couple ways that you could resolve this as well. If you're interested in that you could pm me or actually Percylucid might be a better person to ask for help. I think that he has helped people with this before, but I have experience in dealing with scary things in my lucid dreams as well Sorry about being off topic! I don't know about the false awakenings thing, I also get that a lot. Maybe you could do mantras or affirmations while you're in the dream that you're awesome and powerful and that the dream doesn't have to end. Just an idea, I'm going to try that as well. Good luck!
