I love your story. I overcome attempted nightmares in a very similar way.
I rarely get anything close to a nightmare nowadays, but I used to get dreams where someone/something would chase me. Then one night, I felt it was about to happen, and thought, "I'm so tired of this. You know what? I'm done." And... the thing disappeared.
Ever since then, if any scary shit starts happening in a dream, I just tell it to fuck off. Sometimes that moment leads to a small bit of lucidity, and I go, "Oh hey, I can fly away." Run, jump, take off, and it's pleasant dreams from then on out.
The power of the mind is incredible.
I actually just had a moment like that (sudden lucidity during a dream) in my last sleep. Probably would have lost that memory entirely if this comment hadn't reminded me. Even still, I can't remember the context, just that something was happening that was mildly annoying and I realized I was dreaming.
I just said, "wait a minute, this is my dream, I'm in control here" and then I think the dream shifted into something else or something because the memory fragment ends there.
