The most powerful dream I ever had was the only "lucid" dream I've ever had... A few years after leaving the dubs, I dreamt that my mother, sister, brother and I (these are the 3 members of my family that are still dubs) were sitting around in the living room of the house where I mostly grew up. Everything seemed very dark, and we were all scared; there was something outside the house that we knew was dangerous to us, and so every once in a while, one of us would get up to check one of the locks. So my brother gets up to check the lock in the kitchen door, and actually turns the key & watches the bolt to make sure it's in the locked position; then he turns around to head back to the couch. Immediately I start getting up, because I could see he hadn't locked it again! And sure enough, the door slowly starts to open while his back is turned to it. All I see is a dark silhouette of a man in the doorway; he pulls back his arm and then throws a knife at my brother's back. I jump behind the couch (bravely, I might add )... Peeking from behind the couch, I see the dark man giving orders to my mom & sis (I don't remember what he was telling them to do, but they were running around the house getting him everything they wanted)... Then I stand up out of my hiding place, when both of them are nearby, and tell them, "Wait! Stop! This is just a dream. We don't have to do what he wants. If we just ignore him, he'll go away." When I get them to settle down, sure enough, the dark man leaves... He walks right by me, and turns to look at me for just a sec, and his face is ME except with a goatee
LOL you can ask Freud about all this, cuz...
