Is it possible to control your dreams and create a dream then dream it?

Question

I think it would be really fun and have a positive affect on me to control my dreams more. Since my dreams are so random and I always forget them. I think it would make me a more cheery person to control my dreams and make my goals seem more real. Like if I want to save up for a $200 dress, then I would do extra chores around house and dream I brought the dress to remind me its a reachable goal and to keep working for it.

Answer 3

well...before u go 2 bed if you keep thinking about a topic and it wont get out of ur mind.. ur most likely 2 have a dream about it.

Answer 4

I've actually tired the think of a topic before you go to sleep trick, but to no success. It doesn't seem to work for some people.

I try to catch myself in the middle of a dream (wich is very hard to do) and then change it, but usually I just go with the flow. If you are suddenly awakened (like by an alarm clock) you are more likely to remember dreams then when you wake up from the sunlight on a Saturday morning. If you're really interested, keep a journal beside your bed and set your clock extra early to give you time to write down any dreams you experience. You'll be surprised at how they can inspire you, even when you don't have control.

I've never been able to control mine, but they always hold messages from God.

Answer 5

just keep thinking about something

Answer 6

"Lucid Dreams" can be hard to achieve, but with practice, some people can control their dreams most nights. The process involves you realizing you're dreaming, then taking control of the dream. Start by telling yourself each night you'll remember your dreams, as you're trying to fall asleep. Keep a dream diary by your bed, and when you wake up remembering a dream, write it down. This helps you see the nature of your dream, which can help you recognize dreams while you're in them. Another thing to do is make "reality checks" in which you do something like look at your watch periodically throughout the day. When in your dream, you may repeat this(your mind forms a kind of pattern, I guess). In dreams, the time will often change randomly. By looking at your watch twice, you may realize the time has changed too much and you're dreaming. Once you realize you're dreaming, changing the dream is very easy, you simply will it...When you're there, you will understand.
