I rarely have nightmares, but if things get too stressful in a dream, I'll alter the parameters of the dream to something safer; such as when I was being chased by a mob and instead of succumbing to panic, I simply stopped them from chasing me by an act of will. Or like the time I was falling down the center of a multi-story stairwell and simply decided to stop falling and float. I'm told it's called lucid dreaming and it's not something that everyone can do. It's nice to be able to do it, but on the other hand it's not something that impresses potential employers on a résumé.
