you're lucky!
i mean, it's only a slight inconvenience but i quite like to wake up with a somewhat clear mind, u'no?
i find if i don't write down my dreams or tell somebody within the first ten minutes of waking up i'll forget it, very few stick in my mind...unless they feel familiar.
that almost sounds like lucid dreaming, but as you said it's being able to control what you're doing.
if you keep that in mind, i'm pretty sure you'd be able to dream however you want tho'
