When you realize you're dreaming and seek to wake up, focus on disrupting the dream. This might mean blinking rapidly in the dream, trying to read text (a difficult task in dreams), or altering the dream's narrative drastically. Intentionally trying to change your dream environment can trigger your awareness to the point of waking. If you practice lucid dreaming, you can also plan and practice a specific action within your dreams to signal to yourself that it's time to wake up.
