I don´t remember my dreams very often (it comes in periods wheter its often or not), but when i do it´s not too unusually that i´m aware of that i´m dreaming. And if i´m aware i can control, mostly flying etc, but i did create a fryingpan out of nowhere once (try it).
And one time in a nightmare i could just press shift+esc to get out of there [img]tongue.gif[/img] .
I´m not fond of waking myself though since it takes some time and can be uncomfortable. It happens e.g that my eyes are wide open and i can see the wall in my room but are still dreaming, like half-awake, and its a struggle to move a finger.
And i tested the pinch-theory, i didn´t feel anything.
