Awake in a Dream

[FitzChivalry Farseer]

Large water channels rushed with incredible speed towards me without actually hitting me. A river raged in a state of maleficence. A storm had shattered it’s tranquility with ominous savage winds. I realized I was standing in the middle of the river on top of a round pale white stone. Strong waves battered against this fragile foundation I relied on. With every assault the stone trembled incessantly and cracks would appear beneath my feet thus furthering my dilemma. However, I stood tall overseeing the flow the water. There was no fear in me for my safety when I was captivated with the scenery. Surely with no effort from the river I could’ve been swiftly swept away from it all but I somehow stood my ground. My fragility was of no consequence. Intense waves did no more than brush my side or completely jump my position. There was no object safe from the river’s wrath. Trees alongside the river were stripped of their roots. Severed they unknowingly followed their final fate plunging down a mysteriously calm waterfall. Holding no apparent idea of my impending doom I looked upwards at the storm. Dark clouds swirled with one another exchanging lightning and molding together for a second then separating. Breathless, the winds could not provide me with the oxygen that I needed and I crumbled to my feet. Finally being affected by the river’s rage I was thrown off balance but hung on for a second. Before I fell I noticed at how strange it was to see that the river held clear water. Then I let go.

(This was my dream just a couple of hours ago. There’s really no explanation from me. I have no clue to what I saw only that I wrote it down right after I woke up choking from underneath the blankets thrown on me. If any of you have some ideas please say so.)

I believe that's called REM-sleep, which is when you're aware of your surrounding while you're sleeping/dreaming. In some cases you can even control them.
It's kind of the state between being awake and asleep, a gray erea if you will.

Look it up, it's pretty interessting.

Yeah, it's known that certain dream can related to subconscience issues, like stress for example.
But the fact that you were aware of what happened, might be a indication that you were experiencing an REM-sleep. Awareness is what defines REM.
Controlling the REM-sleep dreams takes a lot of practice, though.

It is something you can learn, and there are a few ways to do it.
I've been trying for a few years now, and I'm getting more aware of my dreams everytime. I'm trying to teach myself to gain control, but that's still pretty hard. The trick is to get yourself to be aware that you're dreaming, and than to take over. I'm not always succesfull, most of the time I wake myself up XD

Falling asleep while listening to music is something most people start with.
