you found out the cause already.
if not being 100% lucid to change the dream (ideal results), one can at least take it in a satirical view in his sleep.
I've had nonstop nightmares every night since this past January and it's come to that for me.
I rewind dreams and redo scenes so they make more sense. I comment on them. sometimes i "smirk" at it, so to speak. a lot of the time i still get disturbed by them, though.*
There are multiple ways to check if it's a dream, and it's just about finding what's good for you. Clocks, lights, mirrors, and going underwater have never been good for telling me whether it's a dream or not... usually when i am in a dream, i either don't "consciously" recognize it or i do. I just know the feeling, i guess... i feel heavy and burdened in my dreams, it's unlike any sensation in the living world, I don't know. if anything, just analyze the situation around you and what just happened to make a decision about what you do next to tell if it's a dream or not. a lot of the time, those specific classic indicators i listed are nowhere around me, so... yea
Kamisori:
I own a writing journal and i document a lot of my dreams in it... but when i started having my nightmares i didn't even want to write them down. if i wrote them down I would have remembered them. She might not feel the same way... but counterexample provided regardless
*I killed someone in my dream the night before last by stabbing them with a really short, headless spear. i remember what it looked like pretty vividly, since i had to choose it off the wall. it was the longest weapon i could find. i remember i held it out in front of me and the girl i killed impaled herself on it; i pierced straight through her ribs and a lung on her right side. missed her heart, though. it was enough to get me extremely anxious/shocked and wake up.
I've woken up out of breath before.
oftentimes i wake up amidst an anxiety attack.
