Question

Is there any way to pick what you dream about?

Answer 1

Yes it's called Lucid Dreaming. Google that and you'll figure it out. You can actually get really good at it. All you have to do is become aware that you're dreaming in the dream. That's the trickiest part. But once you do it, it gets easier and easier. Then you can do anything you want. It's sooo fun! I suggest you rent the movie Waking Life, its a brilliant movie. Made by the same people who made A Scanner Darkly.  

Answer 2

Dreams are actually things you may have seen or heard about, like let's say you saw a movie... let's say "The Dark Knight" (awesome!) and you were thinking about it all the time. Then there is a great possiblility that you may dream of flying over buildings, being in great explosions, or you may just re-watch some scenes in the role of a civilian. Things you see in dreams may be your great fantasie, like... flying, walking through doors, being invisible, etc. If you ever have felt paraniod, or skeptic, nightmares about that paranoia may occur. When I felt my first 5.4 earthquake I was skeptic for weeks, and my days ended wtih nightmares that a building is falling over me, or the ground is splitting, or my family was crushed. But later when i got over it the nightmares stopped. You can actually partially control your dreams by avoiding what may really scare you, getting closer to what makes you happy, and try to get out of skeptism or paranoia as soon as possible (get to know the facts). There's also Lucid dreaming, but i prefer just avoiding things when I'm awake.

(I once actually did it (realized im in a dream) and jumped off a plane. I thought I could fly...... and I was freaking out in bed. (haha!) I woke up right before I knew something bad would happen)

You cant really pick your dream, but you can at least try to do your best to aviod what you wouldnt want in your dreams.

Answer 3

well u really cant choose what u dream about cause when u r asleep ur mind works differently. Its like shut off bt it still day dreams! i dont really kno anything about how dreams work in ur head when u r sleeping bt what might help is if u wana have a romantic dream-watch a romantic movie right b4 bed or just stay up a little later and think about what u want to think and then it might lead ur dream to that! Like watch a tv show or something in the evening and ur dream might end up being about that! trust me it almost all the time works, unless u r dead tiered then u cant really control what u will dream about. Hope this helped :)  

Answer 4

yes you just think about what you want to dream about all night long and it will come to you!

yes it worked for mee.

Answer 5

No, but your dreams do reflect what you think about on a daily basis.

Answer 6

Sometimes whatever you're thinking about before you fall asleep will somehow appear in your dream but twisted. I always think about the guy I like, and just last night I had some weird dream about a castle with two princes fighting, and one turned into a lizard. Yeah, weird.

Answer 7

no you have no control at all.

Answer 8

no, but maybe in 50 years.

Answer 9

yea dreams are just what you watch or listen to they're what you put into your self just going wild at night so. just spend time watching, playing, listening to, or talking about or thinking about what u wanna dream about! =}

Answer 10

sometimes this works for me think about whatever u wanna dream about earlier in the day then go to bed but dont think about it just before bed

Answer 11

Some say no. I can if I really try. Wipe all thoughts out of your mind(this is easy if you are blonde) and focus on the scene, the feeling and the dream in your head.. And I thought Lucid dreaming dealt with knowing that you were dreaming, not knowing what to dream...... Meditation can assist you.

Answer 12

I think some times it depends what was the last think on your mind. Some time I dream about a movie I seen before bed. I try to have good movies on before bed this way I can have good dreams.

Answer 13

I really don't think though.

My dream last night was about the guy who pierced my ear yesterday, haha.  Weird

Answer 14

BE DETERMIN AND PATIENT .YOU VE TO HAVE APULL DOG DETERMINATION.

Answer 15

I don't think so.  Now sometimes I feel really depressed about not being married and not even having a boyfriend....that night (sometimes) I'll dream that I'm getting married.  In my dream I am standing at the altar and I see a tuxedo standing in front of me, but in my dream when I go to look at his face it's all scrambled looking...kind of like when someone is interviewed on tv and they don't want their identity revealed.

Answer 16

i dont think so, but maybe if you think about it before you go to sleep or something you might dream about it

Answer 17

Yes it's called lucid dreaming.  Get a book about it!

Answer 18

Research a thing called "Lucid Dreaming."  There have been many studies done on controlling what you will dream about, as well as trying to control your dream once you realize you're in it.  So I think you may be able to control it sometimes, if you're willing to go through the training and effort.
