Dreams are happening in parallel universe in which parallel versions of your physical self exist.
Deal with it as real because it's an alternate reality. Enjoy it and remember .. it's easier to be able to control and change the course of events in your dreams than in this reality.
But it's also easy to control/change events in both this reality and your dreams if you start believing in the truth that this reality is also a dream but takes quite longer than the reality you dream of.
