Got some tricks for you. How much control do you have in your dreams? If you do have some amount of control in your dreams, see f you can make your dream self ask the girl where you are before waking up.

are you dreaming in third person or first? i dream in both(and in color) and if u are in third person try not to focus on yourself but the surroundings. In a sense I have learned to partially control what i do in my dreams. sometimes i have no control. Ask a psychiatrist. I was told i was a special person becuase i dreamt in third person. many dont do that.
