Thanks for the reply NyxCC and yes I do think it is some sort of awareness change. Its almost like I am watching a movie at first and then I all of a sudden realize this could be a dream. After this realization it is pretty blurry and I have to do something within the dream to clear it up, so I put my hands/arms out or grab something in the scene.

There have been quite a few times where I have this realization and immediately try to fly or do something else and the dream collapses, I think this is probably at the tail end of a dream and at the end of a sleep cycle where my consciousness begins to awaken.
Hmm, that makes sense. So, in such cases you probably need to recognize this peculiarity and as you said, be as a active as possible to allow for some extra dream time within the constraints of it being a dream tail.

At any rate, your natural ld consistency is amazing!
