Same here, ever since I was a kid. Sometimes, I can forcibly wake myself up from the more... unpleasant ones.

Why not simply change it into a better dream?

Sometimes, I'll just pop somewhere else, but sometimes it's too unpleasant, and my instinct is to wake up.

That said, flying away is always a fun option.

I enjoy flying it's great fun, once you've had a few swoops you can sort of hover in the air for ages before you swoop off again. I also enjoy running across swimming pools. I often try and teach people how to do that but they never seem to go fast enough.

That's okay; I never have any trouble breathing underwater in dreams.

I'm rather jealous. I almost never recall my dreams; and whn I do, the memory is gone within 5 minutes of waking.

That's honestly just the tip of the iceberg; one dream I had a few years ago, dozens of tornadoes were tearing the city apart. I could literally feel the wind, grit in my face, suction back towards the funnel, etc. Damn scary. My response: I heaved a car at one of them. It did f*ck-all to the tornado, but when I woke up, I thought, "Holy crap, I threw that car at least a mile!"

Fun stuff.

I get a lot of my story ideas from dreams.

I can remember most of my dreams rather clearly, which is unfortunate, because they are really creepy. Usually involves a school (changes as I grow older and go to new schools).

BTW, I have my first jury summons.

I used to be able to control my dreams regularly. Unfortunately, all I have now are nightmares related to my legal situation, and I rarely get a solid enough sleep to be able to lucid dream anymore. If I'm lucky I can get a little eroticism into a dream once a month, but all of my fun, if not slightly creepy, dreams are long gone.

Ditto...........the first time was after a "Halloween" marathon when I was 13ish. In my dream Michael Meyers was coming for me, and when I realized I was dreaming, I yanked off his mask to reveal he was really the "Adorable" Adrian Addonis!!!!!

I very rarely remember my dreams. On average I only wake with the impression that I've even had a dream about once every few months, and it's maybe a couple of times a year that I can remember the actual dream at all.

I'm not sure, I always get to the parts she wants me to change and I can't get anything to change. I don't much consider it to be a problem mind you, I've been having nightmares virtually every night for ten years. I've gotten fairly decent at recovering from them.

I can't lucid dream either...

I can sometimes. Though then things get weird and I wake up.


So, anyone have experience on a jury?

I've done jusry duty, ended up being a hung jury due to two retards who didnt understand the concept of "reasonable doubt"
