How many people can control there dreams?

I use to be able to all the time but I sorta let this go. I only can do it every once and a while now a days.

A lot of times I would realise I was dreaming and do whatever I wanted. Of course I have had a random dream, realise I am dreaming, change the dream, forget that I am dreaming then, let random stuff happen, figure out hey I am dreaming again, and change it again.

What about you? I know people can do it but not on a regular bases like I use to. Is there anyone else out there like me that can do it on a regular bases.

Lucid dreaming.

I'm only able to change my dream when I'm having a nightmare...or I simply wake up from the nightmare

The nightmare is so terrifying I realize that I must be dreaming either i change a little bit or just wake up

Most of the time when I'm asleep, I can be able to alter my dreams, even when having a nightmare, but in some cases, I'm unable to change anything.

I've trained myself to either become Spider-Man or always have a shotgun in dreams where I feel threatened. This is after years and years of horrific nightmares. 

meh, rarely dream.

You can just go lucid dreaming.

Nope, but I sometimes have some really cool dreams lol.

The best way to try and lucid dream, is to keep a dream journal and detail you dreams. Then to also pick up a habit that involves checking out changing numbers (like a clock, or watch) and or light control, as in flicking off and on a light switch. Twice. Just now and then randomly. Do it enough you might have the compulsion to do this in your dream, and in dreams, time and light works differently, so if you look at a clock in your dream, and its 8 pm, then you look at it a second later, it will probably be something like 10 30 am. Or it might be blurry. Light switch probably won't work either. So hopefully you don't wake up and you also realize your dreaming, and god, and create 360 vision and then go fly to the moon and eat it as you turn into a 75 thousand foot super giant, then punch Robot Hitler's head off. The ride a Autumn Dragon with 999 wings. Though a caramel mousse cloud. 

You can actually train yourself to control your dreams.

I can't control my dreams as such but I can change the nature of it. For example if i'm having a nightmare I can change it to something else. I can also wake myself up if I don't like what i'm dreaming about but everything else is out of my control (what I dream about to begin with, what it changes to etc....)

One time I had a dream I was fighting that Dragon from Ocarina of time. I realized I was dreaming and I dreamed up the hammer to beat it... The hammer was too heavy and I woke up.

I have absolutely no powers in terms of controlling my dreams...

Only been able to do it the once & jeez wot a dream that was.

Most of my dreams involve eating as much food as I possibly can. I can't see where lucid dreaming becomes helpful.

I rarely dream.

I wish I could lucid dream, though.

I seem to remember there being a thread just like this a while ago.

I wish I could remember my dreams...

I don't dream. I can control YOURS, though. ;)

When I was a kid I could do it all the time. I can still do it now, but nowhere near the amount of times I could do it.

Autumn Dragon is the BEST, amirite?

I can control it during sexual dreams.

I can for the first few moments of sleep but once I enter deep sleep I cant

I did ONCE... and it was epic... but since then... nope

Lucid Dreaming?

Don't seem to recall it, never knew it can happen anyway.

I never had complete control... but yes to an extent ive controlled dreams.

i can control my dreams once in a while. the latest dream was when i developed teleporting/wormhole-esque abilities, it was ****ing spectacular. was also able to shift my environment, all i had to do was ask myself, as weird as that sounds lol.

When I bother to keep and read a dream journal and do reality tests, it happens. But for whatever reason it takes many days. I used to try it really hard, but got bored. I'd say I've had about 20 completely lucid dreams in my lifetime over 9 years. That's not a lot.

Interesting. So it is kinda rare but with training people can do it. When I was younger a lot of my dreams turned into sexual dreams. My nightmares were a little harder to control I did noticed that.

I always know i'm dreaming. Its actually really weird....like my consciousness is aware of my sleep/dreaming. I guess it's why I can pretty much wake up to almost any sound unless I consciously choose to ignore it.

.....But then again, there are those nights when i'm just gone, where nothing will wake me up lol (Only times when I dont remember dreaming, just blackness)

I realize I was dreaming by saying "omg I'm dreaming."

I got excited and was awaken but my eyes were still close. I was like damn it

I can get the ball rolling but then they just kinda go off into there own thing

I seem to have limited control over my dreams. The times when I've had the most power in my dreams were ironically the times I was most terrified. It was a series of dreams taking place over several months when I was in the Seventh Grade. My subconscious kept trying to come up with new nightmares for me. The first was that me and my sister were in a train yard trying to escape a black panther. We hid and ran but couldn't shake it, so realizing it was a dream I made Bigfoot come running over the hill and tackle the panther. The next dream was that I had to try to protect some kid named Jasper from what was apparently a storm trying to kill him. We started on the edge of town and ran to my house in the center of town where we were of course attacked by vampires. It being a dream and all I ripped the first vampire in half and bit the second ones head off. Then the storm hit but, I teleported us to Wal-mart, I win subconscious. Then I had a dream that I was attacked by a massive dragon. I flew away and escaped. My subconscious responded with a foe I could neither attack nor run-away from. My little sister possessed by a super-powerful demon and threatening to kill my grandma. I couldn't hurt her, she was still my little sister, but I couldn't leave my grandma to die. She said she'd let her go if I came back so I did. The dream switches to third person as I stand outside the house. I make no move to fight back as she leaps at me and snaps my neck. Then as the dream continues she burns down the town. I haven't won a nightmare since.

I wish I could... it sounds awesome to control your dream, and do whatever you want.

However, I can't. I dream in 3rd person, so it's like I'm watching myself in a movie. I have no control in my dreams.

Sometimes and it depends. If it's a nightmare I either wake up (which seems to be my most common reaction when I realize I'm dreaming) or I make something ridiculous happen.

If I do, I never realize it. If that makes sense.

I have before.......but I'm not getting into detail about the dream or what I controlled. d^_^b

I was going to be killed in my dream......then it turned into erotica..........that's how I learned how to control my dreams...........and my my serial killers extra sexy

Hey I had a dream I was being chased by the x-men because I was actually Storm's son but I was a bad apple. I mean they were all there. Emma, Scott, Logan, Iceman. Everybody........except Storm. Guess she couldn't take out her kid. But to get to the point I tried to summon a damn lightning bolt and I couldn't. I was like trying to rip my tongue out. I only managed a few sparks...............then I woke up. And strangely there was a thunderstorm outside.

One of the few dreams I remember in detail.

When I was a weeeeee little child, I used to have dreams of floods and intense, powerful running water................then, when I woke up, my dreams would come true..............."No beverages after 8", my mother would say.............she was a fool to think that I would follow such ludicrous rules..............So, whenever asked about my "floods", I simply followed the Old Testament......and blamed God

I had a dream just a couple of months ago. If not almost 2 months. ago that I fell off a balcony, I landed on the ground and I died. first death was like a knock out, then I saw nothing but white, then I woke up. Thats how I know how to control my dreams.
