curiosity piqued. Controlling dreams? could or would you elaborate on this a little for me kindly please?

I ask as I have always been able to control my dreams. The only way I can describe is to reference "The Matrix" movies. In my dreams, I have full control 98.9% of the time. The other 1.1% when I don't have complete control is when I have had "sleep paralysis". I have had many many many times, episodes in which I am asleep but aware and feel as if I am being held down or frozen with fear. My S/O has woken a few times to me making straining noises and watching me trying to sit up but can't. "lucid dreaming" I suppose. When I have these "episodes" I always see the same thing holding me down and hear "what do you think you're going to do?" My S/O gets pretty freaked out by it. I actually kinda like it, as even though I am out of control so to speak, I always end up winning and over coming whatever is holding me down. I sit up in bed, but I'm still asleep and my poor S/O gets super freaked out by this and wakes me up or tries to.

I've always loved "nightmares" cause even though they start out all fucked up and crazy, it doesn't take me long to turn the tables and become some kick ass dream warrior manipulating the nightmare into a bad ass action movie starring me. lol.

I'm curious, as not being able to 'control' your dreams is foreign to me...so I'm curious as what you mean in your post.

Thanks in advance.

sorry to hijack thread....
