It’s weird but awesome how I tell the person in the dream that This is just a dream and he/she can’t really do any harm or that this is my dream and I can change it according to how I want it and that would scare the person

I’ve been through the exact same dream pattern when I was younger - I’d wake up look at everything normally explain my bad dream only to realise I’m still in a dream and after a couple more times force myself to wake, it was really horrifying
