Hi Folks,
I've been following your forum for a few months now, and am a seasoned user of other forums.
If I may pose a question to the experts on the topic.

I'm wondering if my experience is some form of lucidity. I have all different types of dreams, though I've never tried to keep track of any, and like most, some I remember, and most I forget.

When I experience one of those dreams where I'm in an unfavorable situation, say, something like in a car crash, or being held-up and about to be shot, I have, and have always had the ability to wake myself out of the dream just before the moment of something awful happening to me.

As example, if I was in a car that ran off the road, went airborne, just before the car crashed to the ground, I can hear myself say, "OK, this is just a dream, wake up." I awake immediately, just before the crash, and still have a full image of what was happening in the dream, and also am able to "see" myself waking myself up.

So, is this something normal, that everyone can, and does do? Or, is it something unique that I should be exploring further.

TIA for any input.
