What Is Your Technique For Waking Up Out Of A Dream?

i don't think you can really wake yourself up. i mean your asleep! but usually when you are having a nightmare or an unpleasant dream like that you will wake up halfway throughout the night. you could have an alarm clock but how will you know if your having a bad dream?

I also am able to wake up from my dreams whenever they are unpleasant.  I have lots of nightmares as well and am able to tell when they are about to get worse.  when I wake up it is an active process where I kind of feel like I'm lifting myself up but I can do it at any point of the dream.  Whenever I know that it is about to be like a hororr movie I simply do my best to wake up so that I won't have to experience it.  The only time this works however is if I recognize that  I am dreaming.  If the dream feels too real then nightmare or not I have to experience it and that is the worst thing.
