How scientists help create lucid dreams

[@Nana-fl5tu]

I always lucid dream when I’m tired or haven’t slept well

This. Probably also the reason why the mid-sleep awakening works to induce lucid dreams. You need to be aware you're trying to fall asleep while it actually happens.

Interesting. Do they not go back into REM sleep right away? And it doesn't work of you try the signals during their first REM sleep of the night?

Thats cool but how do I keep myself from waking up all the way once I realize Im dreaming?

[@KidWhoTalksToTrees-jg4mp]

Maybe try not to think too much about your sleeping body and focus more about the dream? Whenever I wake up I always try to go back to sleep as fast as I can, using the same technique

Yes that's me to... As soon as I realize I'm sleeping I immediately got wake up, but I think I do it cuz I've had several bad experiences with scary sleep paralysis. Because I know if I can't get out right away I'm stuck and helpless because I'm in between so my body can't move and I can't yell for help because my mouth literally can't move to form words. It's such an awful feeling as it happening.
