Awareness

Changing the outward dream is not an option unless you are aware that you are dreaming. 

I remind myself often, "This is just a dream".  Then I think to myself, "I can do magic here, just like in my sleeping dream world".  When you realize you are dreaming, a world of possibilities opens up before you.  When you realize you are dreaming the way you see the world changes dramatically. 

You are a dreamer, dreaming the world you live in with your thoughts.  If you are not happy with your dream, choose better thoughts.
