I agree with you to a point, but you really can't control what you dream about. Last night I had a very realistic dream that an entire family I grew up with committed suicide. It was horrible, but just a dream so all is good. All you can do is laugh it off and enjoy life.
Some stranger once told me, master your dreams and master being a human. For some reason I took his words to heart. Ever since then I've been in pursuit of complete lucidity in sleep. Any flaws in my dreams are a reflection of my own flaws.
My dreams are fairly lucid, but I rarely choose to exert conscious control over them. Only if something is too scary. I don't remember ever doing it in a dream about love and relationships .
I didn't want to derail the other thread . But this is what I thought he was going to ask about.
Do you? I do, all the time. I have had whole relationships where I meet someone, we fall in love, get married, grow old together, etc.
I've had dreams where just *one* of these things is happening-
such as meeting some new guy or already being involved with someone (who may appear as someone I used to know/date).
Not much time passes in my dreams-it's just for the few hours while I'm asleep, there's no sense of weeks or years. It's all very immediate/fleeting.

Dream relationships make me wake up feeling all cosy and mentally satisfied. It's a good temporary patch.
I haven't learned anything, that I know of, from my dreams.
I just find them curious, and possible expressions of unmet needs in my life-but that's nothing I didn't know before.
I tend to feel unhappy when I wake up from a dream in which I have a relationship, because I'm still alone IRL. Makes me want to go back to bed...

I've had a dream where a woman that I like has called me "her baby."
