I read a few books on dreaming. Matt Walker had an episode on it too. And if I recall so did Huberman Labs.
Its a learned skill. Recognizing ques while dreaming can bridge the conscious mind. Mostly that's it for me.
I have e reoccuring scenes where my dreams take place so it's easier for me to be like, oh I'm dreaming - and then I can ride that wave until I actually wakeup.
I can't always re-enter, but I can often enough to have fun with it.
