Hello im a "newbie" to this website, but i have been actively inducing lucid dreams for a few months now. My question is: Is it possible to prevent the reoccuring false awakenings while lucid dreaming? Normally i find out really fast, but it is a nuisance sometimes ruining a good idea i had going on in my dream. Also Does anybody know the reason why we re-awaken falsely during a dream? Is it a primal instinct to NOT want to lucid dream when it happens even thought it so great? Your mind shutting away the truth for absolutely no reason at all.

One other thing i would like to add is. I notice when i am lucid i get excited about knowing im dreaming, but then i think: What if i thought of something really horrible right now? Normally i do after that, it ends up in me getting chased by a 12' 3 Headed Centaur demon, or some other montrous horror. Is it my self confidence? Or what? Im baffled and open to anybodys opinion!
