Then, when I woke up fully and realized it was a dream, I got depressed, like them being real and losing them. If something happens to hurt me in my dreams, I feel it, even after I wake up. Also, time slows down sometimes to where I'm actually having more time in my dreams than I spend sleeping.Sometimes I realize I'm dreaming, and can control things somewhat. Other times I have no control despite trying to. It's like waking up, but still dreaming. During the times I have control, I consciously try to keep myself asleep for as long as possible so I can play in my sandbox. That's the upside. The downside is having a nightmare. My nightmares are absolutely horrible. Luckily I rarely have them. I think I have always realized I was dreaming when I have had nightmares. I've had nightmares where something really really nasty was going to happen to me, and then became aware I was dreaming, because I knew how much it would hurt. Then I made myself wake up. I haven't always done it fast enough though.The coolest dreams have been ones where I just got done playing a video game or watching a movie before I went to sleep, and then found myself inside it. Obviously I try to stay away from the horror genre.</blockquote>
