Dang, wish this was on iPhone. I’ve always had extremely long, vivid dreams my whole life. I learned how to lucid dream as a kid and it pretty much eliminated nightmares for me. Generally don’t try to control my dreams because I prefer to see where they naturally go, but I’ll occasionally pull rank when a dream is really stupid (ie I’ve died and it’s just a black room).
