I'm super aware that I'm in a dream. In almost every dream I know that I'm dreaming so if I'm dreaming about something I like, sorta like a movie, I can replay that again and again until I get bored and move on or decide to wake up. Opposite of that if I'm dreaming something I dislike, I can conjure up another dream route or just wake up. Because of this ability, I often don't have "scary" dreams because I understand it's just a dream so I either conjure up a new dream route or choose to wake up.
