I always find my dreams end badly, terribly even, even though I want a nice ending. I think this is because of all the gruesome horror movies I saw at a very young age with my older cousin.

well I dunno about the horror movies, but as far as triggering lucid dreams goes -
the word on the street (pillow?) is that if, while in your dream, you come across say a lightswitch - it will not work right in your dream. So if you flick it on/off that is a prime trigger to become lucid. There are tons of other ones too. Supposedly you can't read text in a dream - so if you see text, then BAM enter lucidity.
There really isn't much evidence for all of this though. Dreams are very capable of deceiving you to the point where you think you are awake and 'in control' - and while that dream might be the most interesting one you'll have in six months, it means very little if it (the phenomenon) can't be reproduced regularly.
and wormwood / absinthe is illegal in the states, yes.
