Not the fella you replied to, but a common method is to keep up a dream journal. Write your dreams down, write down common themes. The idea is that your subconscious will pick up on these things while you’re dreaming, and you’ll be able to control your dreams.
I had a similar experience on my laptop. I tried Ubuntu which broke after trying to throw on Nvidia drivers (using the official docs). I tried Mint and Debian, both of which couldn’t detect my laptop’s wifi card (after hours of trying to fix - apparently a common issue but the fixes did not work for me!). I landed on Fedora, worked great. I’m now on EndeavourOS, but Fedora was the stepping stone I needed.
My desktop I built recently is Bazzite, which is Fedora based and I love it.
