I'm just trying to figure a couple things out... I know it wasn't caused by a problem in my life, at least not one that affects me consciously. I have no stress to be causing nightmares in general, as I honestly have a very easy life right now. It's also the very first dream I've had where it's just like "SNAP, This is a dream, the lighting's wrong, it almost glows. And that's one of his uncontrolled dream personas, that's not him, and I don't even know if his dream-self would go so far..." I've only had a handful of LDs before, and they were when i was very young, and I just knew I needed to wake up, I demanded it of myself, I had to get out. And suddenly the light faded to something natural, pale, and he was facing away from me in bed. I was pretty sure I was out of it, I glanced at my clock and it said the same time it had when I looked in the dream, and reached out to touch his shoulder since he was facing away from me, and he rolled over and smiled at me as he woke up, and so I just said good morning.
I'm not sure what it was, exactly, but... I just want to find a way to not repeat it. From how things changed, and with me even the fact that I could wake, and gently instead of abruptly, I suspect I was halfway awake already, especially since the two clock times matched; it was the exact same setting, outside the fact that tiny details were missing and the light was odd in the dream. I've also heard some stories here and there about bad shit happening when you're caught in between.
I guess I'm also somewhat upset that my first lucid dream where I really KNEW it, and could wake up from it so I had some greater level of control, would be a nightmare.
Though if anybody read a thread I started a while ago, about proximity of other dreamers, especially lucid dreamers, inducing stronger dreams, this supports that random theory, as I was sleeping next to my love, and he's a fair lucid dreamer.
