Thanks!
That's cool too--whenever I had a nightmare, waking myself up was easy; I don't know if I could have faced staying in the dream and trying to change it, I just wanted out. I wish sometimes I would have nightmares again so I could try it, but I just don't have them anymore. Bad dreams, yes, but more annoying than scary.
I do the same, actually, I would rather just see the real world for a moment, get my bearings, then have a nice peaceful night for the few hours that remain
So I take it you nightmare is not a recurring dream? I mean, Michael Myers in the shower would be a horrifying sight, but if you saw that over and over you'd probably get used to it.
My nightmares are never recurring except where the stimulus is obvious- when I live on the first floor, I dream of peeping toms. For the vast majority of my life, Freddy Kruger was the antagonist in my dreams, but I'd say he has been phased out over the past few years,
That's how I would wake myself up too, but I don't think my real body really did too much. Hopefully if you think about lucid dreaming a lot and practice, you will get to the point where you don't have to do that, and you will be able to always stay in the dream and hopefully change it. I think you are well on your way and have a high level of awareness already.Thanks again!
