Lucid #3! I was in the middle of a nightmare and took it over:

I was in my room just as I had left it when I went to sleep. I sensed that there was a presence in my room, but usually when this happens I look around and nothing's there. This time, I looked down under my bed and there was an alien under the edge of it. I flipped out (you want to scare me to death? make me thing there's an alien anywhere nearby). I started screaming \"Oh my God!\" And then something in my head clicked and I knew I was dreaming. I started telling myself I needed to wake up to get out of the nightmare--I could even picture myself on my bed thrashing around trying to force my eyes open (couldn't do it, though). But then I thought, \"Wait just a minute. This is my dream; I'm in control here.\" So I picked the alien up and threw it out the window. And then I woke up. [/b]
Anyone else thrown an alien out of a window? Or taken control of a nightmare?
