Funny enough, I never really needed these tricks. Or I guess, I do have one? It's when I realize the events are scripted. I don't know why, but many of my dreams are perfectly sensical and linear, and sometimes I notice and hijack them. What I can do with them tho, depends on how close I am to waking up. Saddest one was when I realized I was walking my dead dog. She was actually exhibiting behaviors I know she had been used to have, but not ones I had consciously remembered much when thinking about her after her death. I lingered on that one a bit. Still, dreams are dreams, and there was some weirdness, and I knew them for what they were. But that time, I did not fight the script.

> It's when I realize the events are scripted. > But that time, I did not fight the script. That's a good way of putting it. In the past when I realized I was dreaming, I would take advantage of the situation and change things, give myself superpowers, etc. But in recent years my few lucid dreams have had really interesting plots, so I consciously chose to let things be and just see where they go.

> I was walking my dead dog I can relate. I saw my dead dog several times in my dream, and in the dream, it felt like she was never dead in the first place, not like I reunited with her, but it was just another of those regular days with her. So, even though I enjoyed the dream, I didn't have that euphoric joy of reuniting with her. I perceive everything as 100% absolute truth and only realize what's wrong after I wake up.
