Does anyone else have the ability to consciously end their own nightmares?

Most of the time when I'm having a nightmare, I'll be able to wake myself up consciously if it gets too intense by physically trying to open my eyes. It's kind of weird, my dream eyes are open but I can feel that my actual eyes are closed. More often, actually, I end up just submitting to (or seducing, lol) whatever is after me (if it's that kind of nightmare) in hopes of earning the monster/entity/person's sympathy. Works most of the time.

I was thinking about it recently since last night I had a dream someone was trying slice me up with a knife and I got so scared I became self-aware and was desperately trying to wake up. Ending up 'waking up' into another dream where I told my friend about how horrible the dream I just had was. Lol!

On another note, if I'm ever underwater in a dream, I'll be able to breathe through my nose, but only my nose.

Does anyone else do these kinds of things, or am I weird?
