you know that controlling your dreams is a very unique trait, not many can do it. Have you ever been able to go back and change things to get a different outcome? My mother was able to do that once, she is very good at controlling her dreams. Thinking about that dream you had, it doesnt seem at all like a waking dream....When my son was just brought home, his mother told me of a terrifying nightmare she had where Ian, in his crib in the room was being enveloped or something by some dark cold shapeless thing, she said she rose or attempted to as soon as she realized(she said she didnt SEE it but when she sensed it) but she felt a pressure holding her pinned to the bed, and that she was paralyzed and terrified. Ian has a reoccurring nightmare and has since childhood(he's 16 now and had one as recently as last month)that he calls the train dream, he can never really describe it more than a knowing that the train is coming feeling but the strange part is that he wakes up completely during them but his conversation is nonsensical and very frightening. Sometimes it would take more than 30 minutes to get his eyes to clear and know he's awake. I beleive dreams are prophetic, i was raised in an enviroment where we would discuss our dreams together over breakfast. the dream means something, it sounds almost like its heralding something, though it is something that has been heralding for quite awhile. Then again our dreams are so abstract, it could perhaps be some aspect of yourself that needs inhibiting? or expressing? are you a pisces or water sign? i also know that dreams seem to be different depending on your sleep patterns, like if you aren't sleeping well than labored dreams are likely, i always get the falling dream if i nod off unknowingly. Good REM sleep is usually the deep ones we can't remember, i like those, it would be necessary to have alot of those if Evil it ever showed up in one of my dreams
