sort of lucid dreaming

Date: 5/4/2020

last night in the middle of the night i was in a dream, i don’t remember what was happening, but i guess i became aware i was dreaming and felt a sense of urgency to wake up right away. i don’t know if it’s just me or other people have experienced this, but physically waking yourself up from a dream is really, really hard, for me it feels like a full workout lol. like you have to hold your breath and tense your abs and then you can wake up. so anyways i just woke myself up into my dark room, checked my phone to see it was 3 in the morning and then fell back asleep lol. i’m glad i’m starting to lucid dream again though, it’s been a while.
