Can you control your dreams?

[Pineapple]

I can make conscious choices in my dreams, or at least I feel like I'm making conscious choices, so everything that happens is what I feel like I want to happen, so in a way I can "control" my dreams.

Cool, right?

Sometimes.
Occasionally I'll be in a dream that appear to follow standard laws of physics and I'll convince myself that I can fly, and then I'll lift off of the ground.
But those kinds of dreams are rare.

I once figured out I was dreaming... even then, I couldn't warp the reality of the dream I was in. I tried to make things float, but it was roughly similar to the regular world, so I didn't get anything done...

I guess that means my mind builds non-flexible worlds, and that I inhabit them until I wake up. Although once or twice I've had dreams where I had telekinesis. Those were good times.

When I figure out that I'm dreaming (1/3 of times) I just follow storyline because I want to, but sometimes I want to control them and they behave exactly like I want them to, just sometimes I can't remove something it just keeps poping back, it's really annoying. There are even dreams that blend with my reality and I don't what really happened. And then there are the abstract dreams which I hadn't in while, mostly dreaming about impossibly shaped triangles flying around.

I think you can because  I can think of a time I want to wake up and I wake up exactly at that same time but I can also think about what I want to dream about I usually can dream generally what I last thought about and I dream about it

Well if you play games like maze games or Black ops you can defend yourself against nightmares. Because, lets say, in a dream there is a guy chasing you with a knife, and he is faster then you. If you played super mario galaxy you could shoot starbits to slow him down and then when he is dizzy you could stomp him or if you were in a canyon you could do a wall jump or if you played black ops or legend of zelda you could shoot the guy and kill him.

And sometimes i wake upi when i want to by making my self have a nightmare at the moment i wanna wake up at.

I can semi-control my dreams. I can control myself...sometimes, but many times things happen that I don't intend, like a wall flying away or the floor giving out.
So...sometimes.

I've found that there's some dreams I can control to an extent, and some I can't. Often I get dreams that are related, which I can control a little or not at all.

I have had some lucid dreams but this was so awkward that I woke up soon.

If I sleep on my right side I get long, LONG dreams that merge with others but are very realistic, if I sleep on my left I get short, fleeting, nonsensical dreams.
  Aside from that, I can't control the dream while I'm inside, like I can't just say 'Hey, that rabbit should turn into a rhino.' and then it happens based on my own concious will, but I do have the ability to control myself to the normal degree I can in reality.
