Dream - Selling the Dream - Advertising Space in Your Sleep Time?

dream - selling the dream - advertising space in your sleep time?very weird things are happening in the dream time, the sleep time, the other life of this 48-y.o. blogger.
On New Year's Day it was the realisation that I could deny ANY DREAM CONTENT, question it, just say "No!" to it, if I wanted.
Last night i.e. four days later, it was AN ACTUAL ADVERTISEMENT for a product/service: I literally woke up I got so angry. Where my dream time had been quite quiet since NYD's "No!", I had been having an abnormally vivid and lively series of dreams. Dream after dream after dream. Question has to be asked, "Why is a 48-y.o. man like myself still experiencing dream content one would have imagined one had lost in childhood, namely MONSTER, CHASES, ESCAPES, ENEMIES, HORROR?"
I mean, "I know it's just dreams," or do I?
Last night was a case in point, there I was chasing this couple of thieves who'd stolen something very cherished, very dear to me. They escaped in a 1950's Chevy pick-up truck like the one above. I nearly caught up with them on a 'highway' and WHAM. An Advertisement comes on. Right in the Dream. Filling the screen, and it did feel like a 'screen'. I couldn't believe it. Nor could I stop it. Don't ask me what service or product it was advertising, I was too angry. I kept thinking, "Remember which way they were going, you can catch them later."
The advert ended and (of course) the station wagon was nowhere to be seen - empty road at every turn.
