I had another one last night... this time when it started, I decided not to go too deep because I wanted to focus on how to wake up without freaking out. With both dreams, there was an element of fuzziness at the beginning where I could choose to push through into full manipulation, or just let it go. So this time I let it go, and the dream changed into another scene that was a wake-up from the previous scene, but I knew it wasn't reality, so I relaxed a bit more and told myself to just wait for a moment. Then I was able to wake up properly. So yay - I'm not scared anymore.

I wonder if there's anything in my naturopath herbs that increase the chances of a lucid dream. I only started taking them a few days ago.
