Not being able to control your dream. help needed

[greencandyjane]

This has happened to me on a few occasions. I have never attempted to purposely lucid dream but I have noticed it was a dream while in one. Every time its the same. Something is chasing me and I think, "This is a dream. Its not real." and then I Face whatever is chasing me, instead of continuing to run away. But each time I do that I never win. I cant get whatever was chasing me to leave me alone. And one time I tried flying away but couldn't fly too well and another I got a gun and sword and even tried attacking it. It was kinda like a jump and a little flight and then back to the ground. I thought when you realized you were dreaming you could do whatever you wanted? Anyone know whats keeping me from doing this?

Also, I never notice I'm dreaming normally, Only when something is chasing me. And this has happened twice recently.

 Try to ask him/it what he/it wants. Sometimes the simple solution is the right course of action!
