What Dreams May Come

So not that I actually recall my dreams lately, but I have this recollection that I've had some sort of control over my dreams. There seems to be this period where I am completely aware that I am dreaming, and somehow can control it. It's like I have a dream remote control. There is this period where I seem to have the choice to go back to my dream or wake up. I don't really know how to explain it, but for some reason I remember this happening every night for the past week, at least.
