Too Lucid?

I’ve had to check “nightmare” three times this week. Each time, the dreams weren’t particularly bad, sad, or scary, but each time I woke myself up from them. I was, for lack of a better word, conscious that I didn’t want to be in the dream anymore. Well, there is a better word, lucid.

The most recent dream: I was tired within the dream, because I was chaperoning first graders on a field trip to a museum. I was napping because I was exhausted from working the day before, so to be doing something physical with kids, even in an otherwise pleasant dream. . . well, it was a nightmare!

Have I unlocked some new level? Am I able to more freely lucidly dream? Is it too much to ask that I sleep and dream like a normal person?
