I often remember large portions of my dreams as it is....

Last night I was with two friends (not known in my waking life) and we were stranded atop a cliff above a river. I saw a boat in the river and ran to the bottom of cliff (not sure how I did that) to get there attention to save myself, I left my friends behind. I couldn't get their attention and I swam out into the river with a rope attached to the shore. The edge of the boat was just out of my reach so I let go of the rope. When I touched the boat I somehow caused it to begin sinking. It was at this point that the people (Three of them) on the boat realized I was there. It was actually myself that turned and looked at me. I assume that the other two people on the boat were the same two friends that I abandoned on the cliff, although I never saw there faces. I cannot remember a portion of the dream or perhaps the dream ended because I realized I was dreaming when I was looking at myself. I vaguely remember afterwards being in a house with an elderly woman serving me and the same two friends a drink (I believe something like hot chocolate) I know this occured after the boat, but I am not sure if it was the beginning of a new dream or the end of the first.

I laid back down after my boyfriend left for work and had another dream. This one was so intense that even though I had intended to only take a short nap I ended up sleeping until noon. I often wonder whether I am controlling my own dreams. Sometimes in my dreams a character (usually fairytale like, but in the evil witch way) tells me I can. And then I try and fail and then I try again and succeed. It always happens that I fail first.

My second dream was a lot more unrealistic but more real at the same time... I was younger than I am, and with a group of students like I was in High School or something. I was in what seemed like in parts a haunted house and in other parts just a museum. But it was all a maze. The other people with me were taken by the character (evil witch of some sort) because they had no souls. Somewhere in the middle of the dream I became a teacher (which is what I want to become in my waking life, but instead I am becoming an accountant because it was more convenient). Becoming a teacher made me lose my soul and she was after me. I had to find my way to the room with my teaching diploma and destroy it in order to gain my soul back. I was trapped in a room where she stood there and told me I could make that room the room with the diploma. Like I said I tried and failed it became another room with posters of diplomats (A room I know I had previously visited in the dream) I tried again and succeeded, but I felt as though she might have helped me. I then was able to make the "maze" easy and left.
