Hi, I'm new here, I have been lucid dreaming for many years, not out of choice mind you! and i have horrible experiences with false awakening. When i realise i am asleep i freak out and it is so hard to wake up, it literally feels like i am dragging myself out of a grave. And sometimes it happens 3 or 4 times, thinking i have woken up only to find that i am in another dream. I have got a bit better relaxing over the years but it still freaks me out. Is there any tips to make it easier to wake up? and what happens if you don't fight it? i have this irrational fear that i'll never wake up again.
Thanks!
