with regards to controling dreams, you only recieve them if somewhere in the back of you head you are thinking about it. or something of that sort... think happy things and you will see a happy dream of what you may wish to see

Answer 8

yes. It is called "lucid dreaming", where you are perfectly aware that you are dreaming, and can with a bit of practice control everything that goes on.  You can Google it - just put quotation marks around it so the search engine treats it as a phrase and not just unconnected words.  Lucid dreaming is very difficult to learn, but many people have done it, and there are machines which make sounds that help you control your brain waves and achieve a lucid dreamstate more easily.  If you wish to give the whole thing a shot, go for it: if you master it, the entertainment value could be awesome!!!

Answer 9

There's a way to dream about being in a movie you like. I've tried it and it works. I figured out how to do it by accidentally falling asleep watching movies late at night. I've noticed that when you fall asleep listening to something, you subconsiously hear it while you sleep. So when you're really tired, and I mean REALLY tired, put on a movie at a reasonable volume and try and go to sleep. When you start to dream, you'll hear the movie in the background and your mind will put you in the scene of the movie playing. Just try it, it's cool.

Answer 10

I seriously doubt it. But you can try by falling asleep watching it.

Answer 11

yea, its called dream pre-programming

Dream pre-programming is a hypnotic practice used among some medical and stage hypnotists. It allows the hypnotist to control (or let the patient control) their own dreams. One way that a hypnotist will use this is by telling the person that when they fall asleep that they see a button. And that if they want to enter "DreamScape" that they should press that button. Then they will enter a world just like Earth, but they will have complete control. They will control things with their mind. Dream pre-programming can also help someone for a test or a big event in life. The hypnotist would make the subject dream that event as going perfect, so the subject will get a level of confidence.

Answer 12

they say that the last thing u think about before falling asleep comes in ur dreams...........

to control ur dream u gotta think of the thing that u want to see etc and see ur dream change that's what i do

Answer 13

Actually, there is! It was on the discovery channel of "The Human Body: Pushing the Limits." I forget most of it, but there is a way to train your brain so you can controll what goes on in your dreams. It takes a total of 6 years (3 hours a day) and even that might not promise success, but it's all true.

You can't controll where your dream starts out, but you can control what happens in your dream.

Let's say you were swimming next to sharks in a nightmare or something. Well, you could easily make it so your wearing armor or something.

Believe it or not, it's all true.

Answer 14

once my therapist told me that if i go to bed thinking about one thing, then there's a greater chance of dreaming about it.  however it hasnt worked as far as i can tell

Answer 15

at least you can try,and you will see if you're able to control it.

Answer 16

MEDITATION IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTROL UR DREAMS

Answer 17

You could try watching the movie right before you go to bed. You  could also try to overload your brain with characters and items that relate to that movie during your day.

Answer 18

I can't control what I dream about but sometimes I can control what is happening in them. Also, I can consciously realize I'm dreaming and remind myself that I'm only dreaming and that no matter what happens, nothing can hurt me. I can also wake myself up when things get to scary sometimes.
