How To Wake Up from a Lucid Dream
Try these techniques:
- Call out for help. Yelling in your dream tells your brain it’s time to get up.
- Blink. Repeated blinking may help wake up your mind.
- Fall asleep in your dream. If you know you’re dreaming, go to sleep in your dream so you can wake up in real life.
- Read. Try to read a sign or book in your dream. This may activate parts of your brain that aren’t used in REM.
