Weird problem with my dreams.?

Two nights in a row I've had strange dreams where I knew I was dreaming and just didn't want to be there. Last night in my dream something amazing happened that I knew would never happen in real life so I figured it was a dream. To test my hypothesis, I slapped myself and ran without shoes on to wake myself, I could feel the pain in real life but I couldn't wake up, it was a while before I did wake, and I actually woke up at a completely random moment when I didn't want to wake up. The night before, I had a dream that I was at an amusement park and one of the rides caught on fire, I wasn't on the ride but I helped put out the fire and eventually realized I was dreaming and got bored with the dream. I tried to wake myself up again by hitting myself and slapping my face, again I could feel the pain, but I was stuck in the dream world. Yet again I woke up at a completely random moment I woke up. This is getting really annoying and I don't like being stuck in my dreams, is there anything I can try to help this?
