I enjoy dreaming, good or bad. I dream most every night. I remember chunks of my dreams, some nights more than others.
Last night was an especially great night for dreaming. I was having this strange dream being caught up in a house that seemed to be a cult, and the entire time I felt trapped and was trying to get out. A couple of times I woke up to go to the bathroom, and was able to hop right back into the dream. What interested me the most was what appeared to be the end of the dream before I woke up. I clearly stated to a couple of people (whom I did not recognize) that this was my dream and I could do what I wanted. I ended up grabbing one of the "bad" people, and was explaining to these other people how I could grab this person (which I did) and smash his head into the wall. At that point I woke up.
I have been practicing this in my dreams, being in a dream and knowing I was. I have done it several times in the past, but those times are spread out. As I have done before, I will try to build on last night and see what happens. I have yet to do it back to back, and it's spread out between occurrences.
read up on lucid dreams.
You actually can "wake up" inside a dream and be fully conscious in it. Then, you live in a world that is completely subservient to your desires, as it is product of your mind.
There are certain practices that allow this.
Lucid dreaming happens to me all the time. Happened last night actually...had a dream that I got in a car accident and ended up killing a baby girl. Everyone got mad at me and finally I said "look I'm just dreaming, nobody's dead, that baby isn't dead" then the baby started crying. I've even found a way to escape lucid dreams and wake up if one gets out of control. Usually they are pretty pleasant dreams though.
I think I get them a lot because like you I get up to use the bathroom a few times during the night. I think that keeps you just close enough to the waking world that your mind figures out you're dreaming. Also my dreams often end when I get a need to use the bathroom and I can't find one in my dream. lol
Uncle Bully, that's so funny! I have lucid dreams a lot too, and I have certain "cues" that I use to help me realize I'm in a dream. One of them is I have to pee but every bathroom I find in the dream has some problem (no doors on the stalls, toilet overflowing, spiders all over a toilet, etc). Then I tell myself "this means I'm actually in a dream and I need to wake up and pee" and I wake right up.

Yeah I get that too...one common scenario is a public bathroom filled with overflowing or unsanitary toilets and I have bare feet so I can't even walk near them. If I really don't feel like getting up those dreams can go on and on for a while.
I like how insane dreams are, yet in the dream we usually fail to identify how crazy they are. Events, places and people all knotted up and connecting without any kind of sense, and yet it's completely comfortable and convenient to instinct and emotion.
One of my theories is the dreaming action of the brain is how the earliest sentient humans actually perceived reality. It was nature's first attempt at a brain which tried to build our higher consciousness ie. The ability to reason, and these prototype-brains were the literal state of reality.
