Thread: Anyone Expirienced trouble with waking up?

In a Ld some time ago i expirienced trouble with waking up. Any coments advice on this kind of thing? Kinda weird feeling beeing asleep and knowing it but not beeing able to wake up.

This happened to me when I was a child. The way I fixed it was imagined a I was on the edge of a cliff then jumped. That worked for me maybe 70 - 85% of the time when dreaming. I know it sound wierd but it works. Imagine jumping off a cliff and at the bottom is the gateway back to reality.

Ohh... and by the way I like the quote in you'r signature .

Ah... "Vanilla sky" style I`ll trie that if i run into that problem
A cool signature is a must you know

haha, one question; why would you want to wake up from an LD?

The only reason i can think of for abandoning a lucid dream is if it gets out of hand and you start to lose you'r control over the dream. Like if strarts to become something wierd or even worse a realistic nightmare .

Whenever i've intently tried waking up, ive always been able to wake up. One thing i tried as a child was just closing my eyes in a dream and opening them in reality knowing that i would wake up. Now i just try stretching my eyes open, but it's a weird feeling trying to battle through your subconscious in order to wake up.
