I did as a teen. I found the inconsistencies in the resulting dream structure too annoying. I stopped trying deliberately.

Eg, last night I had a dream conversation with Mal of the Serenity on reactor core dynamics. I became aware of the dream when he couldn't explain how part of the ship he was fixing worked. It fell apart when I wanted to figure out how ship cooled itself. My dream state couldn't support that level of control.

I then woke up and realized that thermophotovoltaic or other sort of nuclear electric system would make more sense than a light water reactor, assuming they figured out how to make that be efficient. There's still a bunch of heat to dissipate.

I should have just left the dream a dream.
