Most of my dreams are blurry. I think it's because I wear contact lenses but don't sleep in them.
Does anyone else have the ability to decide to wake up from a dream? I've been able to do that since I was a kid and could escape my nightmare monsters by this technique:
In my dream (as a child) I'd be being pursued by something nasty. I'd then become lucid and realize it was a dream so I could then turn around and confront the 'monster' - who would then usually become something quite harmless after all, or if I wanted to wake up I'd lie down (in my dream) and close my eyes...and wake up in bed at home. (I don't use it now however and don't have nightmares anymore)
This did back-fire on me once though when I woke up and started to congratulate myself on my wicked skills.. and then the curtains came alive and started to attack me!
And then I really woke up...or did I?
