It's 3 am in India. I am going to sleep and just a thought came.
Can we control our dream within sleep? We all dream something good, some thing bad. But can we make our so trained that we can decide that we will dream on this topic? I think answer is no.
But if it was possible what dream would you chose to dream?

I think we can try to alter what we dream about by thinking hard about something before we go to sleep but it is rare that it works. I dreamt last night that my sister got married and my mother was upset that no one was invited and then I dreamed I was at a wedding and my sister was singing and everyonewas admiring her and I was so jealous.

I don't know about altering the dream but in my experience if you listen some meditation music or calm music before you sleep you can avoid scary dream...

To a certain extent I think we can control what we dream about. For instance, I am not a fan of horror movies and I know that 9 times out of 10 if I watch a horror movie before I fall asleep, I will have a bad dream. So I don't watch the movie. In that sense, I'm controlling what I dream. But other than that, I don't really think people have much control over the dream process. How do you control something in an unconscious state? The only thing you can control is you can will yourself to wake up! 
But to answer your question I would dream about my past life, happy memories. Many I love have gone to the next world and that would be my way of seeing them again.

yes.. we can change some parameters which might change the pattern of dreams.. but it's not a definite thing...

@ichchhe_mrityu I'm not sure exactly. Before I go to sleep, I give myself suggestions that if I have this bad dream again, I will make it end better. Sometimes it works, and then I don't have that dream again.

It's interesting Jo.. How do you control the end without waking up? I sometime tried to thin about the same if I wake up in between

Dreams are thoughts in our subconsciousness. As we know,the brain never sleeps. Studies also show that we only see people in our dreams who we know. I don't think we can control or alter our dreams in any way.

@rituaigal we can't control our real life... at least we should have the privilege to control our own dream... and you can have thrilling moments if you want
