This is exactly how it started for me, erm, 31 years ago or so I'd guess.

I was just a kid with nightmares... most often being tickled/restrained by this abstract black ghost/creature (the tickle sensation was very real and very annoying)... then one day I felt i had some control of the situation. I started to interact verbally with this creature... i didn't know i was dreaming but very quickly i was controlling the outcomes, via distracting it through conversation, to the point the dreams stopped. I've never had a nightmare since.
