Thread: please answer.. newbie here

I still find it tricky to wake myself up from a lucid dream. I know sometimes I want to wake up so I can write everything down before I forget it. I frequently get false awakenings when I attempt to wake up. It can be frustrating to write down my whole dream in a FA, then wake up again and have to do it all over again

I like to focus on opening my eyes in the dream. I open and close them a few times, and really try to stretch my eyelids open.

You can close your eyes and wake up most of the time.

thank you everyonee.. i'll try'em

I remember reading somewhere that if you lay on the floor and close your eyes, then open them again, you wake up.

I read once, that the best way, was to fall asleep. Sounds kind of backwards, "Fall asleep to wake up", but I hear it works great in your dreams if you need to wake up. Just fall asleep in your dream.

Or, one thing that might work too, is open your eyes as wide as you can, and continue to try to open them beyond that. If you strain enough, your physcial eyes may begin to open enough to wake you up.

Hey! I'm new here myself, so I don't got anykind of experience.. But I've had one LD that I can remember. It was a nightmare, so I decided that I had to get out of it as fast as possible. I closed my eyes multiple times, but it didn't work. So I started consentrating hardly on waking up, and trying to open my eyes, and suddenly, I was back in my bed!

Why worry? If this happens during a snooze-alarm fest, chances are you will wake up at the next alarm.
