I've had one interesting dream where I had semi-control: though it was only over myself, and not my environment. The dream occurred in my own home, though at night, and the lighting was kind of odd (As dreams sometimes are. Movies don't exaggerate on this point.) My sight was a bit fuzzy, etc. And I recall standing in the half-bathroom of our place and thinking, "I'm dreaming. I want to pinch myself so I can wake up." And I remember being in the dream and pinching myself several times, but no matter the effort, I still couldn't wake up from inside the dream. Talk about a wild fluke , as I'd never heard of lucid dreaming before in my life. So yes, if you're "lucid" or aware while in a dream state, you can control what happens in your dreams, though only to a certain extent, depending on your skill with such states.

Being concious in dreams. What is known as Lucid Dreaming, and is really awesome! I've done about 30 lucid dreams from February '07, and I'm trying for more. Lucid dreaming is what I do to relieve my stress, when I get really angry on one day, if I get lucid I'll probably pluck a weapon out of the air and start mowing people down with it. It's so relieving.

I would post hundreds of my lucids and brag about them, but that would be dumb. If anyone is interested in my boring dreams, tell me.

Didnt know its called Lucid Dreaming but I have had a few of them, I dont usually have them but thats probably because I usually dont think about what to dream when I go to bed but I know if I do I will dream about what I want

But I remember once I really wanted to have a dream that I am being chased, (dont ask lol) and i did end up dreaming being chased and the funny thing was although I was being chased everything was going to my plan, I was able to dodge all his attacks and I got shot when I wanted to...

wierd I know lol
