Had a few of those in my life, and every time its been when the dream has turned into a 'lucid' dream...ie I realised I was dreaming and 'took control' of it so to speak.
Marvellous, wish I could do it on demand

Apparently, you can teach yourself to do it on demand.
I don't usually dream at all. My sleep is a lovely, warm black pit that I fall into at night and try to stay in for as long as possible.
But, in the past year, I've been dreaming about swimming in liquid gold and getting told to put my head under - which, in the dream I won't, although I have no problem with going underwater in real life.

And one dream where I "flew", but using swimming strokes, and I flew/swam to the top of an Oak tree where all these mothers and their toddlers were going around in seats, like on a carousel; and they were jealous, so I tried to make myself look "normal" when I became very aware that not everyone can swim-fly.
And some dreams about being murdered!

The last one, a few nights ago - two black panthers came in and tried to kill my cat, and my daughter and her friend attacked me; and her friend stabbed me in the spine and after a while of staggering round, I fell to the floor and said, "My life is going from me now", while my daughter stared in horror at something behind me!
Good or bad, it's very unusual for me to dream at all (just as well, eh?

).
