Do you have the ability to control your dream?

Sometimes, I can do it. but most of the time I can't. Even though I am aware that I am dreaming, I seem to be helpless in directing my dream. It just goes on and happens. Sometimes, when I get to control my dream, I suddenly wake up. I think, you have to be partially asleep and awake to be able to control your dream.

No, I cannot control my dreams because most of the time I cannot remember my dreams. LOL

Somtimes I can't remember my dreams too, especially when I'm too tired. But I remember I dreamed, just couldn't remember the details of the dream.

My sister is very capable to doing this. I however do not have that ability. She tells me how much she is able to control what is going on and being able to wake up and everything. She has lots of dreams too. Where I have no control what happens but I rarely have dreams that I remember at all.

Maybe you could tell your sister to teach me how she does it. It's very hard to be able to do that most of the time. Me, I just get to the point where I am aware that I'm just dreaming, I can hear my mind saying inside my dream , " OK you're dreaming" then I just watch my dream unfold. Rarely I get to control it.

Hmmm, wouldn't it be nice to control a dream where in your in bed with a girl. Haven't done that though. The last time i was able to control my dream was, I had become a vampire ang got the ability to fly, I controlled the directions where i was flying to. It was nice and yet horrible.

Sometimes I can think about something before I drift off and it will carry into a dream however it only happens to me around once a month. Also sometimes I wake up but I can go back to sleep and continue the dream I was having.

I'm kinda amazed you "can" control your dreams, from what i've read is that you can only dream while being semi-conscious mentally and emotionally. Maybe being partially awake and asleep you can somewhat route your dreams in to a direction, but of course once your knocked you can't really control much else.

I like to discuss this... I have the experiences as the same with you. But the strange things, when i realized that i was dreaming, suddenly i woke up!!! End when i try to sleep again in order to chase the dreams, i can't arrive in the same dreams... Very strange huh

No, I does,nt think that anybody have power of controlling his dream. Dreams directly related to conscious mind. And conscious mind only related to daily activities of person.
