I used to have dreams where I would realize I was dreaming, and to a certain extent I could control what happened, but not completely. I've also had repetitive nightmares. In these the setting would change, but the course of events always played out the same. I remember as a kid having this repetitive nightmare, but also being able to control certain aspects of the dream, which made the nightmare part even more terrifying because no matter what I could change or control, the nightmare still happened, and I was never able to escape that part, it was completely inevitable.
The dreams I find particularly weird are what I think of as "serial dreams." Where it's like a movie and when the new dream picks up where the old dream left off. I'm always amazed at the detail and accuracy (in relation to the prior dream/s, even if I don't really recall the dream upon waking).
I don't really like my dreams… They tend to feel like a betrayal of my brain… Things I don't fully understand or events I can't process being forced upon me… At times it's been to the point of waking up from a nightmare, only to have flashbacks of the same event, so there's no escaping, if I'm asleep or awake
I've had bouts of insomnia from trying to avoid disturbing dreams.
