From Allan Brash, Mornington, Victoria, Australia
Before I knew about lucid dreaming, I taught myself some techniques to deal with nightmares. I simply make my mind blank in the dream, which leads me to wake up. Sometimes it is quite an effort, but it always works.
The most enjoyable part of a lucid dream, apart from the awareness that it is a dream, is explaining to people there that they are just figments of my imagination. They look at me, as they would in real life, as though I were barking mad.
This doesn't make the dream any less dream-like, but it does increase the entertainment value.
