Is it possible to....

control your awakening. That is, whenever you are dreaming or lucid dreaming, and are about to wake up, imagine yourself waking up inside a dream. I was thinking that because usually in my dreams anything involving kinky stuff wakes me up, but today in my dream, I woke up in another situation, inside my dream again.

Sooo technically, when someone is about to wake up, if they realise it, they would get into a semi-lucid state and manage to "wake up" in another dream, which keeps the fun going :)

(Aside, today, I broke my dream recall record :) )

That's a really good question. I find for myself that lucidity fades into wakefulness, so I'm not sure that'd work for me. But that's one of those that is "so crazy it might work" kinda things. Have you considered taking that one over to the research forum and running with it there, conducting some experiments with volunteers?

Have you thought about how one would induce it to occur?

Curious idea. Some thought into it is definitely in order!

I imagine it would be similar to peforming a stabilization technique. Or "transport" technique, which can sometimes be similar. Here, I am speaking of spinning!

Whenever I spin I almost always stablize, transport, or move into a false awakening.

I highly recommend you try it if you feel like you're about to wake up. Start it quickly, with the a good jerk, like an ice-skater... or like you might fly off the ground. I suppose you don't even have to go all the way around - just a little bit to smear your vision and shake the blood around in your dream body.

One of the things I notice from both transitioning to sleep and transitioning from sleep to wakefulness, is a change in the sensation of balance. The sensation is more stable while you're awake, so if you can get yourself dizzy while waking up, even for just a little bit, I say you're likely to find yourself in an FA.

I admit I've never tried to have an FA, but I certainly believe that they are at times surprisingly easy to have. :)

I would try to experiment it but as my title says I am not experienced with LDs yet.

But I'll try to remember it when I'm about to wake up, because I seem to have extremly high lucidity just a bit before my mind switches my dream off.

The "aw damn I'm gonna wake up" feeling has done it for me, but my dream was pretty active too. I tend to remember more dreams where I feel in slight danger and want to continue them. That one was particularly hot (neighbourhoor trying to ram me with a mustang, only that when I get into my house he peeks in aiming a .22LR rifle at me all the time, and me being held in a house as an "hostage" because I know too much about a small prank...)
