I need to know how to wake myself up, last night i had two false awakenings and i know you are supposed to take advantage of your LDs but i started getting anxious when i kept having FAs and i couldn't actually wake myself up. I entered my bathroom and even slapped myself a couple of times, i started to get the feeling that i would be stuck in my dream. Then a older man appeared out of nothing and he bent down (is this my dreamguide?) and i asked him how i could wake myself up, and i dont remember what he said, i remember it being funny though, and eventually i woke up.

what are the best ways to wake yourself up?
