How many here feel that they can control their dreams?
Last night, I had an odd dream...
I was in a house to take something and was trying not to get caught. I didn't look anything like my r/l self, but I knew it was me. He found out I was in there, so I ran into a room and locked the door. The room was like a classroom: desks and chairs and one wall was all windows. He was yelling and banging at the door. I was looking for a way out. At first, all the windows were the kind that don't open. Then, the last two on the right had locking levers. The first one wouldn't budge. I was starting to panic. I turned around to get a chair to break the window, but when I turned back to the window, the last one on the right just...wasn't there anymore. I jumped up on the window sill and managed to run away just as the guy burst through the door.
I then woke up breathing hard and perspiring and my heart was racing. During this nightmare, I was so totally aware of the fact that this wasn't real. I couldn't stop the dream, but I altered it so as not to be trapped.
Now, when I was younger, I was plagued by nightmares of being chased and then trapped. It got so bad, I was afraid to go to sleep at night. Then I got a book on dream interpretations and controlling your dreams. I don't have nightmares frequently anymore, but it's nice to know I can still alter my really bad ones and/or wake myself up.
Can anyone else do this?
