A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

I kind of lucid dream but only enough to know I'm in a dream. Been the same since I was young.
It usually happens during nightmares. I've learnt to throw my right shoulder back as hard as I can in the dream and I wake up doing it.
I found this trick in lucid nightmares working well: Talk with the monster. Do some small talk „What’s your name? Do you have sisters?“ It will „distract“ them and leads to a different flow in your mind. Actually, you are re-setting the atmosphere in your mind. It’s a bit as how mantras work.
