ways of giving yourself dreams

[BluE_MeaniE]

I've had similar things happen to me.
Sometimes, I'm falling asleep, and I suddenly jump or swing my arms and I'm very scared for a second, and then I wake myself up. I can never remember exactly why I do that.

And also, the other night, I was dreaming and in the dream I suddenly thought "Whoa! This is a dream, I should write this down." (I've been writing down my dreams in an attempt to have lucid dreams) and with that thought I suddenly woke up.
