Hey, new to this site but not completely new to (unintentional) lucid dreams.
OK so let me explain; I've had quite a few lucid dreams, which only started earlier this year, believe it or not when I started training for a marathon relay with my friends. I began taking various amino acids from a health store as I knew these would help my health and general wellbeing.

Anyway, my first lucid dream scared the life out of me, as I thought I had woke in my bedroom, and found the room had been robbed and there was a small oil lantern burning in the centre of the room. The room was trashed and had spears/arrows stuck into the walls, not too sure why?! I figured it was a dream as my clock went up to 14 not 12, and I later discovered it was my first lucid dream as I had the ability to walk about freely in the dream.

My second lucid dream was within a few weeks after, and after reading on this site about how to control it, I decided not to be scared of the dream, and to have a bit of fun... So as a single 21 year old you can assume what was involved, well I thought of women, fighting, a car chase in a muscle car and the dream ended with me in some apartment complex that I've never seen, when I was starting to get freaked out with the fact I wouldnt wake up.... at which I awakened within a few minutes. When I got out of bed I was overwhelmed at how I could make everything happen so easily, but the other occasions since havent been as entertaining or easy.

Anyway, skipping on a bit, I decided to register on here as nobody I know personally has had these dreams, and I have a few questions which I am starting to get concerned with. First off, I'm 21 years old, athletic (when I want to be), but quite the party animal. I found that I seem to get these dreams after amino acids or occasionally just after nights out, but have found on 3 or 4 occasions I woke up in a feeling of anxiety, usually because I would be trying to wake myself but would wake inside another dream.

Do many of you wake feeling this anxiety? I have never had any anxiety attacks or that before, and found I have quite a good heart as I'm definately a fan of an adrenaline rush!! This has made a few concerns for me

Why do I automatically want to get out of the dream?

I've found myself saying "wake up" repeatedly but I would keep dreaming, are there any ways to tell your body to wake up?

Is this anxiety or adrenaline?
