has waking up during an bad lucid dream ever been an issue??? i dont have tons of these dreams..but as i started working on them, i get them more. ive had 5 or 6 in the past year or so. neway, in a couple of them...including the one i just had...i cant wake myself up. i usually dont have bad dreams...but when i do, they are sometimes lucid. how can i wake up? i tried alot of stuff...even pinching myself lol. ne advice??
I don't know how to force yourself to wake up, but perhaps you can change something in the dream so it's not such a bad dream?
If you can't change the dream, at least since you are lucid it can't be so bad, because you know it's only a dream, you don't have to take it so seriously. Just think of it as like watching a scary movie.
they are 10 times scarier when they are lucid and i cant wake up. its scary because i feel trapped. its not so much whats going on...its that i know its not real but im stuck. does that make sense?
I think you'll more than likely just get used to it, your brain will get sick of the situation of being scared and either send you into a normal dream or let you remember that you can change pretty much anything in the dream that you want.
