Having a dream is a constant fact of life. But most of the times, our dreams varies and appears to be nonsense, sometimes they are scary. Is there possible that we can control our dreams? Like, I only want a happy dreams.

No one can control their dreams, and i never even heard of one who can control their dreams. I've been in the field of studying human behavior and really never heard of someone, promise. When we are dreaming it is the sub conscious mind that is working and the sub conscious mind is uncontrollable. Have great day.

You are right about that, although i am in the field of the science that deals with the study of human behavior, i still believe in paranormal, unlike other people who are on this field. Because i believe that, there are so many things that cannot be understood by human minds and that are the paranormal events just like what you are pointing too. Have a great day.

No one can control your dreams,but dreams are a good thing even some may be bad ,dreams are the path to the spirt world,the soul is traveling. Sometine you dream things, your own spirt is seeing things before it happens. you have to learn how to make used of your dreams its a guide to the unseen world, and in this world. I dream thing all the time and they do come through. I always dreams things before it happens, if something bad is going to happen you see it before it happen that is what dreaming is about, seeing thing before it happen, its like seeing into the future, it a gift if you know how to use it.

one would have dreams according to the daily routine he follows and i think i dont have add that if you keep on working hard in the day with so much pressure on you then its obvious that one would get some scary dreams as if they have lost their job or some other stuff related to your job. coming to me i used to have many scary dreams especially int he exam days coz i read a lot and want to make a good percentage and i used to getdreams where i was not allowed to write my exam coz i have reached the examination center lately and these are so scary that i wake up suddenly to find myself in the bed and I thank god for restrciting it to the dream and i would keep an eye on my clock as well.gud day,

Yeah, positive taught means positive conscience and maybe more often lead to positive dreams too. But sometimes, no matter how positive we look life at, still our negative past actions reflects in our dreams.

Hi, Fulltank. In an intellectual way we can control our dreams. We have to start with what our minds consumes. If we keep more positive ideas and thoughts, then we can dream good dreams. But, on the other hand, some dreams we cannot have no control over. Once we are in a deep sleep, we will only wake up out of it when it is time to. Sometimes, when I am dreaming in a deep sleep, and the dream that I am dreaming about is bad, then I will wake up on this part. I will wake up as if I have been slapped. Hypnosis is another method that can have an great impact on how we can control our dreams too.

hi fulltank, well i don't think there is any way we can control and stream our dreams, some say we mostly dream of things that we are concerned about in real life, well if you are thinking much about something then you might dream about it, whether it be a someone you like, or some problem we are facing etc etc.. if you want to dream about something that doesn't happen unfortunately..

Maybe, technology will find a way to control it and only have those dreams that we really wanted to have. And hopefully, we are still be around when that new device comes.

Nice one right there, but I don't ever think we can control our dreams, if that ever will happen, I would really like to dream someone I loved the most.

...Hi again Fulltank, I do not think we can fully control our dreams, but I do think the things we do during the day can affect our dreams. I say that because I once watched a very distrubing movie, and when I went to sleep I had the most awful dreams. So I stopped watching horror movies because they go into my sub-concious and affect my dreams. So better to be of a positive attitude and sort of even keel, so that our dreams will be peaceful, at least in my case. Take care.

No i we never have control on the night dreams but yeah we do have control on our day dreams as day dreams are been dreamed by us but the dreams which we see at night we have no control on them as dreams are common thing and the dreams which come to at night are related to us , these are happening which we have faced in past or today and they get mingle with our imagination and result into formation of a new scene and then we see them at night when we are sleeping , this is because our mind never sleeps and it keeps on doing work and dreams are result of it. Have a nice day and Happy earning in my lot and yeah Merry Christmas too. :)

Hello fulltank! I don`t think there is a way to control our dreams,we can change it only if our brain thinks for something other,while you are sleeping..I had some moments like this,dreaming something,feeling headache and dream changes..There are fenomenals that can control their dreams,but thats why they are called fenomenals..But anyway if you think too much on your dreams you can maybe sometime,change them .. Happy day - joro1best

I do not know if you can do that. From what I know dreams are a collections of experiences of feelings and actions that we have done in our waking hours. That is why we dream irrationally at many times because it is a collection of different experiences that we had in the past. I really do not know of anything that you can do about controlling what you dream because it will manifest itself anytime when your sleeping where your conscious mind is not in control but your subconscious mind.

I do not have any idea whether there is any process by which we can control dreams or not. Maybe a psychiatrist can help in this respect, but I do not have any idea about that. What I do know is that I cannot control my dreams. I watch all kinds of things in my dreams - some complete nonsense, some makes sense, some are practical and some are too frightening.

I think it is not possible to control what I dream! The main reason is that dream is our semiconscious state of mind! So what we think inside our semiconscious mind is what comes to out dreams. And yes you cannot control your semi conscious mind! Sorry!
