The term is 'lucid dreaming' and it's great. Most times I'm on autopilot, but once I become 'aware', I'm usually flying around like superman. I avoid getting sexual because those tend to wake me up lol
I can remember only once where I would say I was lucid dreaming. I was walking down an old, fairly creepy, dimly lit street, and as I approached a corner I thought "wait, I hate horror" and conjured up a gun. At this point I knew I had control, and ended up walking into a nearby pub or tavern to start playing Cards Against Humanity with some mates.
When i was a horny little teenager i tried to fuvk everything in my dreams, and would always wake up. Now when i control my dreams, shit usually goes so sideways that i have to kill myself to wake up. It's kinda fun in a way, but even dream suicide is pretty gnarly. Like i jumped out of my parents windows countless times to end a dream, and everytime there is a little part of me that thinks mid air: this IS a dream right?
Makes me think about Inception ๐
Oh! Peculiar!
