In a Lucid Dream, you can do more than In real life, However, It takes some concentration to stay lucid. It may also be challenging but rewarding to control you dreams. . If what you mean by random is the dream will just be random things, then usually no. At least for me, dreams Are like stories. They have a simple plot, and somewhat predictable outcomes of each decision. Normally Lucidity and dream control can ruin this plot. If you have a dream you are late for school/work, and become lucid, you can rewind the last half hour to make it on time.

Also to answer your other question. It is common to see and hear things In your dream. Not long ago, I tried a fruit in a dream. It tasted kind of bland, but It DID have an orangery flavor. For that reason, I see it as possible that all 5 senses are active in a dream.

Finally, Don't worry. As long as you Do some Reality Checks and keep your Dream Journal going, Your working well towards Lucid Dreaming. Just make sure you pay attention when your doing RCs. If you do one without really paying attention you might do a RC in a dream, and not notice that your dreaming.

i would really like to start lucid dreaming soon, but im not sure if i am doing it right...
Good Luck with your dreaming.
