Day dreams vs. sleep dreams

When we escape it could be by sleeping or just staring off into another world.
In a day dream we can control the characters, the plot, and the outcome alot more than when we sleep. Has anyone else found that to be true? When you dream at night or when you are asleep, you have to go along with the dream untill you force yourself awake or you naturally wake up. That also depends on the dream. I find that if I'm dreaming something I enjoy I go along with it. If I'm having a nightmare or just getting annoyed by my dream I try to force myself awake.
A day dream, on the other hand, is where you get to control the characters, the plot, when you want to end it or just pause it. You have a choice of settings that work for you and not against you. And your day dream can be as heavenly or as H---ish as you wish it to be. Sometimes, not too often, and only by a select few, day dreams become quick flash portals into past lives. We can see our selves in a different time and place. Then we know that where we are may or may not be where we belong.
