We are always controlling our dreams, even if we aren't conscious of it. After all, if we aren't controlling our dreams, who or what is? |

Has anyone else has experience they can control dreams, but they aren't aware they are dreaming? basically I can do something like, "this is gonna happen" and it happens or "I'll change this into that" and it changes, but still you aren't aware you are dreaming, but it feels like you are rewriting the dream to your liking. |

Dolphin nailed this already, but yes, it is possible to consciously control your dreams without being lucid. This is because, as Dolphin noted, some part of your mind is always overseeing your dreams, so some part of you is indeed able to rewrite your dream as, say, your expectations change on the fly. |

Yes, you can control your dream and not be lucid, as Dolphin suggested, but only to some extent. |

Check your memory, did any suprising event happpen ? does the present make sense ? visualize what you will do when lucid, and how. Reality check as reminder of your intention to lucid dream tonight. Sleep as good as you can; when going to sleep, relax and invite whatever comes with curiosity. Grab your dream journal immediately as you awake and write everything you can recall (if only when you wake up for good). Keep calm, positive and persistent, and don't forget to have fun along the way
I was actually doing this a couple nights ago before I actually realized I was lucid. I drove over a mountain and realized "oh crap I better do something to slow down my fall" so I imagined a balloon inflating on my car. It worked and slowed my descent |

Hey... I believe in our ability to control our dreams but many times I can't understand my dreams. When this is happening I always check the best dreambook |

I'm flying and using all of my lucid super powers in most of my dreams even when I don't explicitly think about the fact that I'm dreaming. |

Yup. I frequently have vivid dreams in which I learn to fly. Not lucid, just having the ability to fly. Usually, the dream goes on a while, then I wake up and am severely disappointed that I haven't brought the skill back to waking life with me. That's actually one of the reasons I have decided to get more serious about lucid dreaming, so I can have that experience more regularly and with more control. |

I used to think this as well, as can be seen on my previous post. |

And while I recognize that point, I would still argue that most dreamers have mastered walking in their dreams, and I would challenge those dreamers to realize and embrace the idea that they are already capable of masterful, accurate dream control as indicated by their ability to walk anywhere they please. Because when you get right down to it, walking is in the same category as flying, teleportation, or really any sort of control which results in a change in scenery. It's just less flashy, so no one pays it any mind for some reason. |

I've found that some lucid dream techniques are really useful for dream control even if lucidity is not achieved. For example when I try to start a dream with WILD I will often think about the dream I want to have, or a previous dream I want to continue, and usually I will be able to start the dream I wanted but I am not lucid when I enter the dream. To me it seems like dream control is a lot easier than lucid dreaming, but I suppose that is probably different for everyone. |
