Thread: I don't know what I am or how to control it.

Oh!!! I don't know if this is important to my dreaming techniques but:
One time recently I dreamt I was at my neighbors house at night and nobody else was home, there was some evil dog barking in the distance and it was getting closer so I was trying to figure out how to get away.
Idk why I didn't go to my house, I don't think I lived there in the dream...
Anyway I went to the street and saw a dog-cat thing and I concluded it was my neighbor's and I went to the back of the house, I saw a really broken down car and... Well, let me say that in any of my dreams, I can say "this or that will be here, when I walk around that corner" that sort of thing.
So I willed for the keys to be laying perfectly in the middle of a rock and I grabbed em and turned the car on, there were no seats inside the car and no brakes/gas pedals so I just willed for the car to move and I drove away right as my family pulled into the driveway in their car.
And that was the dream. I guess I can direct my dreams to go however I want, but I don't use the power or even think to use it unless I'm in a threatening situation. Sometimes it'll be a good dream and I'll think "what if a monster was there when I walked in the door?" I don't think it on purpose, really, it just is a random thought and then it happens. I need to be better at controlling this too.

You are a real dreamer and a perfect Dream Journalist Too!
