Your brain is trying to trick you out of control. Just decide and know that you can, and you will.
You brain is not doing anything of the sort.

There are alpha beta theta and Delta waves that are in specific harmonic balance to achieve brain/body states. Lucid dreams are a combination of Low Delta, Intense Theta and Low Alpha. As the Theta increases in intensity, Delta waves become more intense and Active. When this happens, cognitive functions begin to happen in the conscious mind and begins to activate more Beta Waves. Your Brain does not care enough to fight over control. The conscious mind always wins.

What one has to learn is understand what these brainwave combinations feel like and set mental markers in their mind to recognize these patterns when they happen and also learn to limit Theta and Beta brainwaves as well.
