One of the few times I’ve been lucid while dreaming I dreamt that I was playing a video game that I was obsessed with at the time. It was realizing that the game mechanics weren’t working properly that made me recognize it as a dream and then, without thinking, I clicked through the steps to exit the game and woke myself up. Weird experience
I heard a story about a software engineer who had terrible nightmares until he started visualizing the process for shutting down windows. He' reliably wake up after "Shutting down" the system.
That's a funky version of "I woke myself up". I wish I had a good version. But every time I've done that it's been boring. It's some variation of "Am I dreaming? Should I wake up?" And nearly every time I wake up.
