I cannot believe that there are a lot of people experiencing lucid dreams. I didnt even know it has a name. Ive been experiencing this for years and its always scared me. I never ever want to be aware in my dreams. So everytime it happens, I wake myself up. I try to explain to people what happens and noone, until i came across this site, has ever experienced what ive experienced.

My cue is a light switch. When i try to turn on the lights and it doesnt turn on then i know im dreaming. Then i panic and i wake myself up. That always leave me really weak and shaky. The weird thing is, if i dont wake myself up fully, then i just go back to it. Sometimes i dont want to sleep because im scared id have lucid dreams.

When i was younger, i was a lot braver i guess. I would just sit on the foot of my bed and wait it out or get myself a glass of water. eventually id get board and i would wake up.

I dont know why it scares me. I guess because i feel trap and i dont like the fact that the light doesnt turn on. maybe coz im scared of the dark.

how do you stop it from happening? anyone?
