Can you control your dreams?

I remember in Health Science they told me your dream will be basically something you learned that day. But, I have managed to dream what I want. For instance, if I wanted to dream about a mountain of ice cream I just fall asleep thinking about it. So is it possible that what they told me was wrong? You just dream what you are thinking?

i think dreams come out from our mind our past life present work and what we are scared and most happiest about . sometimes dreams come what we think of before going to sleep but not always . dreams are just the combination of different thoughts in past and present . Suppose if you have done some bad thing today if your brain is thinking of it now even your dream will be mixture of that . In simple words what we dream depends on how our brain work when we are sleeping . Happy mylotting

Sometimes I'll dream about what I was thinking right before I go to bed. Sometimes I'll dream about something I was doing for a large portion of the day. Sometimes I'll dream about things I haven't even had a fleeting inkling of a thought about in YEARS. I don't think there's an specific formula for what you're going to dream about at night. Sometimes you can control it, and sometimes you can't. Sometimes it's predictable and then sometimes it surprises you.
