Scratches on a scroll

Could somebody please invent a thing-a-ma-ji-gy that can extract dreams from our heads? I feel as if my dreams are episodes of some kind of series and at times, I can continue my dreams from where I left off many nights ago and I seem to be having all sorts of adventures in my dreams. It happens so frequently, I'm beginning to wonder whether it is even normal. =S

I don't remember all of them but sometimes when I try to recall what I dreamt off, bits and pieces come to me and in a matter of minutes, I am able to "relive" the dream in my head. Whether they were exactly how it happened in my sleep or not, I don't know but one thing's for sure is that I always have mixed feelings about them. I am able to feel two completely different emotions at once like happy/sad or courageous/nervous at the same time.

Some people say that in your dream state, it is actually your subconscious part which fully awake and feelings you aren't aware off in your conscious state is free to express itself. Perhaps while you're awake, you've been holding in that angry feeling you felt when somebody pushed you around at work, steals your boyfriend or girlfriend even, and once you fall asleep, you'll lose control. Your mind would not be able to hold it in anymore and that anger materialises in some form of a dream.

Usually, I would just go with the flow in my dream but when I sense that it might start to turn out ugly (believe it or not, I think in my dreams I can sense whether it will turn into a nightmare!), I try to take control of the situation. I would try to dream it away or make something else appear to replace it and you know, it did work out a few times. Then again, maybe it is my subconscious mind making me think that I had taken control when it is actually going the way it should be all along. Hmmm..
