Controlling dreams without being lucid

Suddently when I think back on my previous dreams in a lot of dreams without being aware that I dreamed. An example: I had this dream were my brother was going into this shop then suddently his head and every one else head exploded (lots of gore), then this really big monster (kinda like some of the Halo monsters, but it was all blood red) ran after me. For some reason I can't run fast enough and I keep going in slow mode and falling over. I also see an other man running in an other direction, but the monster run after me. Then I suddently just tell my self "the monster will not follow me any more, it will follow the other man" really strict and the monster run after the man instead, I could also control a lot of other stuff happening later in the dream like when we were at some base to protect our self I just said "the monsters will run away" and the monsters ran away.

Basicly some times I can control my dreams without being aware that I dream (not very often, it's rare), but in normal dreams I can not control anything, stuff will just happen.

So was this a dream where I could control some important parts without being lucid or was it a lucid dream?

same happends to me but its not lucid in a lucid dream you are aware that you sleep

That's what I thought. I wonder how I can control my dreams some times without being lucid, but it's kinda fun.

it is fun but you are not controlling it your basic feelings your natural knowings rights and wrongs control it

No, this was a normal dream where you could control it without being aware it was a dream. If you start paying more attention to it you'll see that this is pretty much how all dreams function. Especially nightmares. "Oh god, I really hope there isn't anyone hiding through that window!" all of the sudden, you'll see someone's head peeking up. Sometimes you take a more active approach to it like that, sometimes it's more subtle. Sometimes you'll think you've got superpowers and you'll run around controlling things without realizing the true reason why you can. They're just all non-lucids.

Lucid dreaming: Dreaming while you are aware that you are dreaming

yep
