Great advice. In general I think water does help a lot.

I do have to be careful though, because with lucid dreaming your body might not always stay paralyzed. I've learned over the last 20 years that any time I find myself peeing in a dream, I need to immediately wake up and go use the bathroom before I chance leaking any urine in my sleep.

Luckily, even when not lucid dreaming I retain the ability to wake up at any time due to distress, a very useful coping mechanism from decades of night terrors.
