I see no point in controlling my dreams...and I dont feel like writing an essay every day on the random shit that happens in my head.
One thing I have trained myself to do is to just fly away whenever i'm stuck in the typical 'running from something but not going anywhere' scenario. Works every time, and you'd be surprised how often dreams quickly nullify themselves after you do something like that. Yep, no dreams, just the way I like it.
