Dreams becoming more complex.
Female, fifteen. I used to have pretty calm, light, dreams, other than the occasional nightmare. I never fell to my death. When I fell, I floated down and landed lightly on the ground, couldn't feel a thing. There wasn't much sound. As I've gotten older, my dreams have become more complex. I have dreams where I visit a place and then in another dream, possibly months later, i revisit that same place and there's a different situation, but I recognize that it's the same place and that it's different. Like one I had where these old ladies hold antique sales in this huge old mansion or something. When I revisited, They were fighting with each other over customers. I've started hearing music in my dreams, as of maybe a year ago, which had never happened before. In that same dream, this old lady and I wathced a little boy play piano, and he was amazing. I'd never heard the music before. AND the weird thing, the keys on the piano were reversed. Lower on the right and higher on the left. A little more recently than that, I'd noticed that I was developing more physical sensitivity. I can physically feel things. As of very recently, I'm noticing that I'm developing way more of a conscience. Lately, I've been able to recognize a dream when I'm in it. I try to wake myself up from scary dreams and get worried when I can't. Is this development normal and something that naturally occurs as you get older, or is this something of significance?

Dreams are fascinating. As the other answer said, you have stayed experiencing lucid dreaming. You can train yourself to alter dreams at this point. There are apps that help train your brain too. It is hard to wake from a dream. At first, you might send yourself into sleep paralysis, which is terrifying. You get your mind to wake up mostly, but your body takes a bit to catch up. For me, I've learned to control my breathing when I want out of a dream. This takes my focus into consciousness slowly, letting my body keep up. I do this when I can't move the dream into something more positive. To analyze your dreams, look up dream moods. There is a website and an app. It is surprisingly accurate.

Lucid dreaming is when you know you are dreaming. Not everyone is able to do that and it sounds like you are starting to do that. Theres one excercise you can do in a dream to train yourself to have more control like being able to leave the dream, wake up when you want. In every dream, at some point, tell yourself to look at your hands. I have tried and tried and only been able to do it once. Some people can feel they are lifting their fore arms to look at them but they dont always see hands at first or they look really strange. It should come to the point where its more like you are pulling back to watch like watching a movie where you can look down and see your lap or hands, rather than being stuck only being the character in the dream unable to escape. If I misunderstood or you have other questions, let me know. My husband is the one who tried to teach this to me and read about it somewhere.
