Is it normal i can wake myself up from dreams?

I always do this when I have a nightmare! I say it is normal.

I've always been able to do this. The other night, I was dreaming about zombies attacking this compound and they had just broken through the wall and were pouring in and in my dream I was like "bugger this, you guys are on your own" and woke myself up :)

I can wake myself up to from any dream and I always do everytime I dream now I wake myself up by shaking my head multiple times inside my dream and then I start realizing im awake when my body starts to wakeup I get in a sleep paralysis stage where my head acts like it can't move but I force it and bam Im awake this happens everytime, and you know what is even cooler? the people (in my dream) I could talk to them and tell them i'm dreaming and they would tell me the same thing its kinda creepy but cool at the same time. sometimes I can control what happens in my dream now. I don't even have nightmares anymore since I sometimes dream happier things now that my brain recognised about sleep paralysis because I used to be frighten of it but now I can wake myself out of that as well

Just woke myself up from a dream last night. It felt like I was forcing my eyes open and they had weights on them.

Its a brilliant technique, it is annoying when you lose the ability tho coz you think your awake but you end up having a dream inside a dream five-fold until ypu wake up properly and just think to yourself “Holy-F***ing-shit, what the F**K was tht?!?!?!?!“ :S

i can do this too :)if u think about it its pretty cool to open your eyes when your eyes are open IN the dream :D mind fuking truly

I do that when I have a nightmare, I can just, wake up. It's pretty cool, but, I wake up at like four in the morning because I this. :\
