to DreamViews, KD#mo!

Many people have the ability to wake themselves from nightmares or bad situations in dreams, without actually becoming lucid; I know I did, long before I found out about lucid dreaming.

However, that is a good start--instead of waking yourself up, just start thinking about it and trying to remember that the next time that happens, you won't wake up--you will stay in the dream.

Good luck!

I don't think so, but then, I don't know that much about it yet. I've had times when recall has been much more vivid than others, but this a distinct occurrence, is always related to something bad about to happen to me when it happens, and it has happened often, I'd guess about 2-3 times a month.
I can't recall any dream that I was about to have something bad happen to me, that didn't end this way.

What made me ask about it is, just last night, I was in a dream that followed the usual obscurity that dreams do, and towards then end, I was faced with a person who was pointing a gun at me...he said, "give me everything you have, money and credit cards," I tossed him my wallet, and he was angry there wasn't much cash in it. Then I vividly remember feeling the cold metal end of his gun against my head....and thinking if I would feel anything if he pulled the trigger....then distinctly recall "saying" 'this is just a dream...wake up!' And, I awoke remember all of it.

Sorry for the graphic description, but that's exactly how it happens.

Moonbean & Clairity,
Thanks so much for the replies. That's exactly what I was wanting to find out. I'm going to do some deeper reading through the forum, and follow your points.
Thanks again

I always wake up before I die in a dream, but it isn't conscious. I usually suddenly find myself in bed and realize I was dreaming.
