Awesome! That's essentially lucid dreaming, congratulations!

Teach me your ways

“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bigger…” -Inception, 2010

What an enviable ability, glad you were able to have a better dream because of it. 😊

I wish it were that simple for me. I rarely dream at all and it's always repetitive and uncontrollable. Someone will have to teach me how to change that so that I don't keep dreaming of school for example.

It's a real gift to be able to change what you're dreaming from a nightmare into something pleasant. I wish I had that ability, I have nightmares most nights and have had ever since I was a kid (and am now 65).

On the one hand my nightmares are of such ghastly horrors and grotesque and disgusting - but on the other hand they've given me some great plots to some of my most horrifying stories.
