I regularly have lucid dreams also, I find the more hectic or anxious the dream makes me the more control I have, also if I have the same dream multiple times. It is sometimes disappointing when you realize you are dreaming especially if something positive in a financial stand point has happened in it.
Haha. For sure. There were many dreams that i find a lot of money on the street. Then i wake up. Damn!!!
Lol it's worse if you realize before you wake up and keep finding ancient coins or gold or winning the lottery.
