I know I'm a year late, but this is for anyone else with this problem. The best way to wake up from a dream isn't to imagine getting up as said imagination is still a part of your dream. You need to experience reality outside your dream to be sure you leave it.
I find the best way to wake up is to try to get in touch with your real body. Feel the bed, the blankets, the pillow, the air, etc, and try to move your body. Even if you can't actually move activating those parts of your brain will pull you closer to reality. Once you manage to contact your actual body I find you usually get sucked up by reality.

I had the most awesome dream this night. It wasn't lucid in the sense that I was in control or knew I was dreaming but it was SO INCREDIBLY REAL!
My aunt died 2 years ago and I really loved her a lot, I've sat at her deathbed the day she was euthanized. a very special moment, a very special experience. the moment at the best I felt spirtlinked with her somehow, we hugged, kissed and talked about my childhood and how she was a part in it. I never kiss anyone on the mouth, except my wife. Somehow I kissed my aunt on the mouth a few times and after we had a talk and it was time for her to go I gave her one last kiss. Mind you this was not ackward or sexual at all, it was just VERY personal. I felt so connected to her and seeing her on her deathbed made me want to be really close with her. I still think of her almost daily.
Last night she appeared to me in my dream and it was SO REAL. We talked a while and it really felt to me as if she was alive at that point. Now I'm confused. Was it her spirit actually visiting me in the netherrealm? So weird. This dream made me feel soooo good.
I'd love to hear your responses on this.

I only had one lucid dream I can remember of. I was fucking tired as hell during the middle of the day. I was microing hellions against drones and nospeed lings in mineral lines. Freaking dream lasted 6 hours.
Enjoyed it :D

I've heard that upon realizing that you are dreaming, it's possible to assume complete control of your dream, which is a concept I find pretty awesome. Our minds are insanely complex and strange and cool.
I've also been told that it's a very fine line between regular dreaming and lucid dreaming, and most people simply wake up after realizing they are dreaming. Supposedly, if you start to realize it's a dream, you start by looking at your hands and then your arms, and you gradually "synchronize" yourself with your subconcious.
Crazy stuff!

when i was a kid and i was having a bad dream, i opened my eyes as far as i could to wake up

Whoa whoa, is there a guide to initiating this stuff? Sounds like a good time. ^^
I don't know if this is something similar, but whenever I get sick my dreams are completely realistic (or so it seems). When I was sick when I was younger, I'd dream that I went and told my parents that I needed help, or dreamed that I had puked or gone to the bathroom, when nothing had really happened. Then I'd really wake up and wonder why my parents hadn't come and helped me, and start to get frustrated.
One time I was reading The Client by John Grisham and I was the kid in the book. I was sick at the time, and so the weird dreams were happening. I thought that the Mafia was trying to kill me, and I literally ran into the other room and hid behind the couch so the snipers couldn't hit me. I dunno if that's similar or not, but the dream and real life seemed to be the exact same thing.

Yeah dude, I did a search on TL a couple of weeks ago and found this gem:

Some of it has worked, some of it hasn't. Experiment! It's pretty cool :D

Guys, just a heads up, Lucid dreaming is hard when you're a gamer and you deal with fiction and fantasy all the time, in stuff like Skyrim and starcraft. You're brain finds it difficult to differentiate odd stuff when the real world is strange.
I've had two lucid dreams in my entire life. Both of them, I crafted my entire world (of my book, I'm a fantasy novelist ) and explored it for what felt like twenty minutes. The second time I became one of the races that could fly, and I did.
I don't pride myself on being good at initiating lucid dreams. I pride myself on having dreams that are incredibly vivid in detail.

Almost every weekend.
My two parrots wake me up super earily in the morning, forcing me to go to a different room to contuniue my sleep and that's when all the fun begins. I am always able to recall my dreams after.
Filling a diary is fun aswell. ^^

I have lucid dreams reasonably often, although the level of control I have over the what happens in the dream isn't enormously great, and I tend to wake up quite easily from them.
|
I have them quite often. Also after having been out drinking, and going to sleep I can imagine people are coming into my room at 4 AM, while I'm trying to cover myself up constantly, because it's embarassing.
|
I wish I have lucid dreaming, so i could vividly dream of the cure girl at school
|
I have these when I wake up and go pee and go back to bed after it.
I also have these almost 100 percent of the time when I fall asleep with my light on.

Guys I'm not sure if this is a lucid dream or not but I've done it about a dozen times. This is actually the first time I've heard about lucid dreaming.
Saturday nights are the nights I get the most sleep so I often have dreams, but I thought they were just random normal dreams until now. The dreams I would have would almost ALWAYS tell a story in a way that I wanted it to be. I always thought it was odd how it seemed like I was directing it, and aware of it. As a child I would have nightmares that I would have no control of so I never understood what the difference was between the brain directing my dream or if I was consciously directing it myself. Usually I never wanted the dream to end, and it seemed that way as the thought crossed my mind during the dream, but the moment I realized that I need to wake up sooner or later I find myself turning onto my side on my bed and grunting from disappointment from waking up lol.
I don't understand exactly how realistic a lucid dream is. The dreams I was describing were always vague but disturbing clear in a way because it was exactly how I would want the dream to go. An example of this is the fact that I believe that dreams are just images the brain shows me, so I would have an exercise in my other hobby , anime, and come up with storylines and different twists and add-in all sorts of adventurous features. I just don't get if I"m doing this or if my brain is.

people if you like this kind of stuff research how to achieve sleep paralysis at will and use it for more intense lucid dreams and other shenanigans.

For those of you unsure what to search for, this technique is popularly known as a Wake Induced Lucid Dream (WILD for short). Falling asleep without ever losing consciousness is extremely cool.
