Hey everyone, newbie here!

Hello everybody, My story goes like this. I've always had "total dream recall", I remember all my dreams all the time. (If I have MORE than I can remember, that's not good.) (Also, I wanted to find out why I remember 'cause everyone else around me complains about NOT remembering and since they're the majority I thought something's not right with me. Anyway...) So I had this dream about two weeks ago. A totally normal weird dream, I liked it. In the middle of the dream, I was walking on the street and glanced behind my back. A group of men in military uniforms were following me (like a SWAT team). They had those huge guns and I knew they came to shoot me. (Interesting note: I've NEVER had any recurring dreams. Only one recurring element: someone shoots me. Sometimes it's a lot of people, sometimes it's only one; sometimes male, sometimes female; sometimes someone I know, sometimes a stranger, sometimes in a house, sometimes in a car. But mostly it's a shot to the chest or abdomen, rarely to the head, never anywhere else.) So they came to take me down and in my dream I thought "If they shoot me, I'm gonna wake up and I don't wanna wake up yet." And I don't know how but I made them pass me and they disappeared on the corner. And I carried on with my dream. And the day before yesterday I dreamt that I was in class, we had a test. A teacher came and told me that someone was here about my mom. And I knew that she was dead. I ran down to the morgue and they were about to show me the body when I thought "Wait. Mom's not dead. That's stupid. Now I can either wake up or dream on." I chose to wake up 'cause it was silly. It was crazy! I offered myself a choice about waking up! And I knew that whichever I'd choose, dream or awakening, that was gonna happen. So that's why I'm here. To ALWAYS have the choice. If you have any advice, I'm glad to hear it.

It'll be a while before you can ALWAYS choose, but if you stick with it, you'll have that option much more often

My advice to you is, read as much as you possibly can about the topic
