Years ago I really invested into this, because I had lots of annoying nightmares. And I got rid of them by succeeding in taking control of most of the dreams. But that phase passed, and nowadays I'm rarely really aware.

Anyway, the last dream this morning was pretty funny. I was a part of an expedition to reach some location, perhaps some ancient ruins with treasures or something. At one point the group became stuck in a valley with the cliffs too steep to simply climb. Right then two members of the team broke away from the main body, and took with them a large remote controlled plane, quite like those military UAVs. They were going to use it to somehow get out of the ravine.

The rest of us weren't pleased, and it looked like a competition would begin of who gets first to the ruins. So, someone used a remote control to get us a helicopter. However, as the chopper was getting near, the UAV launched an AA missile. After that, the rest of us just sat down to watch the show as the helicopter desperately spinned and whirled in the sky trying to avoid the missile. However, at the last possible moment, an AA missile was launched from the helicopter as well, right before it was destroyed. The UAV had no chances, and it was hit as well.

However, the UAV was hit right above us, and the wreck started to fall, and all of us who had been just sitting on the ground watching the show, in panic scrambled up and started running. And I finally woke up when I was already sitting on the bed and about to run away...
