The awareness of the dream occurrence while asleep is termed lucid dreaming. The quality of lucidity is determined by the depth of mental control you have of the dream while asleep. The more you experience lucid dreaming, the more you can deliberately direct the course of the dream experience.

A strong attraction to perfecting control during lucid dreaming is being able to fulfill fantasies or surreal adventures.

Regrettably, these self fulfilled fantasies and adventures often become a theme for night terrors causing the dreamer to awaken.
