At least you don’t go through a series of false awakenings when it happens. Those are generally not the most fun, since at best they ruin lucid dreams (it’s sort of a way for your mind to go back to sleep, and typically resets your awareness of being in a dream), and at worst it fucks with your sense of reality big time.
That’s why I don’t nap anymore… I lucid dream sometimes, but usually not with naps. Those are just hyper realistic emotion bombs with full physical sensation.
So one day I was having one of my awful nap dreams, and it was super negative, so I decided to wake up. So I did. And then I realized I was still sleeping, and tried again… Dozens and dozens of times, every trick I could think of. I could feel my actual body unable to move (thanks sleep paralysis!), and I kept cycling back to dreaming, starting the whole thing over again.
The second I realise I’m dreaming I wake up.
I think it’s because the second I am some level of conscious the deep rooted anxiety starts again and jolts me up 🙂
Nothing scary than real life.
You should try flying instead.

Try spinning around in place in the dream! Sometimes it can help keep me dreaming cause I focus on my dream body and not my asleep body
