Hello board,

First of all this is my first post so if I sound "totally newb" about this whole dream realm terminologies please forgive me. So let me begin. Well, because of certain "issues" that would occur only during my sleep ( I wont go into it here, it maybe too "dark" for most, but nothing of my doing ) I had to adapt a mechanism.

To cut a very long story short I am now in a position where I have full control within my dreams - I can think of where to go, I can drive, talk intelligently to people in it, eat etc - anything really. I am also very powerful so I can hover, fly, have immense strength if needed and now the things I used to run from in recurring nightmares I can actually fight and defeat. I know, sounds weird. I can wake up anytime if I find a dream boring and "sometimes" - I do repeat - "sometimes" I can hear people if they are talking near me ( I am asleep and they are awake talking) and to check this when I wake up I ask them if they were talking about this and that and they say "yes, but weren't you asleep?"

Although its uber cool I have acquired so much control over my dreams if they are very intense I wake up far more tired then when I went to sleep and sometimes with severe migranes. So what is this "technically" I`m curious..
