Changing the ending of your dream is perfectly fine as an exercise in writing or as a vocal exercise with a dream partner. This can be very therapeutic and can often create a breakthrough experience when it comes to challenging situations. Sometimes you may find that you wished you could have made a different choice while you were in the dream, so do it now in creative visualization, writing, or vocal experience. This is a wonderful way to work with nightmares or reccurring dreams, especially since those are dreams that call for a different action or perspective in life.

"By changing a dream ending you're consciously giving yourself a new signpost," says Joan Mazza, M.S. in her book Dream Back Your Life (2000).
