Long ago I had dreams about falling and would wake to catch myself about to roll off the edge of the bed so perhaps that is a form of control. But whose control? The dreamer or the dream?// Another thing- I wake knowing I have dreamed but the dream is often forgotten. How does the brain know this? Sometimes the only clue is a nether state which lasts until I am up and about plus a cup of coffee.
