Hello everyone I am new to this forum, I have had this "occurrence" for a while and didn't know if I should ask someone about it. I find that it may be normal or like it's no big thing. For certain I really do not want to make a big deal out of something small. What I am talking about is the ability to force myself to wake up when I sleep. It usually happens during a smallish intense dream like being chased or about to be attacked. I know that this happens to almost everyone during a nightmare where once they make contact to the ground from a falling dream or get caught by a monster they instantly wake up, but this feels a bit different. Not only does this also happen in normal dreams, but it is as if right at the end of the dream I realize that I am dreaming. During a lot of these occurrences I basically think to myself "Whelp I'm done dreaming", and then I close my eyes and wake up confused at how I was able to do it. I had a dream that I went into another universe, because I like to look up multiverse theories, throughout the dream I was aware that I was in a different universe and towards the end I was getting chased and before I could get caught I closed my eyes and I could see my body glow in like a bright blue color and I told myself to wake up and so I did. I don't just wake up from a scary intense shock I literally tell myself that it's time to wake up in every one of these occurrences. I was wondering if this has to do with Lucid Dreaming because I know that I am dreaming before I tell myself, but by that time I want to wake up and so I do. This hasn't happened all my life and only really started recently but 9/10 of my dreams has the same ending. I either tell myself "Alright, let's wake up" and I wake up aware that I just told myself to do so, or it's a scary situation like being surrounded by zombies and I know the only way to escape is for me to wake up so I say "Just wake up" and I do so as well. If this is just a normal occurrence and has no meaning what so ever please tell me, I hate when something abnormal happens to me and I get confused on if I should worry about it or not.
