When I start a dream cycle whatever that is (maybe every other month or more for several days) I'd say that less than 1% of those end they way I may have wished for in the dream. That is when I do have an avid dream over 99% of the time the darn dreams head off in the wrong direction, so even though I'm going in and out of dream states trying to restart that dream so it will go right, but, nope goes off somewhere else. Golly, might be time to see a shrink. But, naaa, they might suggest I check into a rubber ranch of sorts.
