Dreaming...

Some people don't act in their dreams. They can't decide things, they don't exercise Will. It's odd, and scary, to think of a situation where you are observing yourself doing something without your Will and active decisions powering it.

I cannot remember any dreams I've had where I have not been in control of my own Self. Even when I have dreamed myself other people, I've still been self-aware, deciding. I may not have been in a situation to effect any change, and I'm rarely aware that I am dreaming when I am dreaming, but I know who I am, even if I'm not me, and I can affect the outcome of my dreams.

When I dream, it doesn't so much feel like I'm doing something without my will - more like I'm standing still and the world is flowing around me.
