Do you control our dreams?

I try to control my dreams at night, thinking about certain things i want to dream about or make up stories in my mind about certain characters i've watched in a movie or tv show or cartoon or something. It's the only way i keep from dwelling in things best not dwelled on. What about you? Do you try to control your dreams at night? if so, how? do you have a ritual or something to help you dream good?

I've read that you can control your dreams. I haven't been successful at it, though. Lately I've been having dreams where I'm hiding from people who are trying to kill me. Because I often fall asleep in front of the television or I read, I'm sure a lot of what I'm thinking about before I go to sleep creeps into my dreams. Great topic!

ehhhh...i've had those sort of dreams as well! its at those times where i'm too tired to bother controlling my dreams. in my case, i always end up jumping of a building or a cliff and then i suddenly wake up to the sensation of falling and find that i've moved down my bed.

Hey, There is no such thing as controlling your dream. Dreams are of two types. The one you are talking about is lucid dreams which is consciously done by yourself. And a real dream can never be controlled. I think, they are our burning desires deep in our mind, which we want to accomplish in real life but could not for some or the other reasons. I often try to imagine something which will give me pleasure.

i don't follow you when you say "lucid dreams" as for the not being able to control my own dreams, for me my method actually works. that being i think of something and next thing i know i'm waking up with the dream that continued from the story i was making up in my head. mind explaining the "lucid dream" thing?

I try to controll my dreams at night but for some reason I cant. I wish I could controll my dreams that would be cool. But Sometimes not often when I fall assleep to something I would dream about that show. Like I fell assleep to seinfeld one night and I had a funny dream where me and the gang were hanging out in jerrys apartment lol pretty funny dream.
