Do I already have a dream control?

Hi, I'm new in this forum and I'd like to know if I already have some kind of dream control.

I usualy can cleary remember my dreams (if I had a good night of sleep) and remember every emotion, thoughts or reasons for decisions in it. And I can note that I'm in a dream and wake up but only if it's a nightmare. - I think I become conscious.

But I can't really control them :( . Is that a begining for Lucid Dreaming?

Thanks for any help. :wink:

HI MCB, I also just posted my first..uh...post.I remember most of my dreams also and have some control over them but I realize I was not lucid when I wake up.Sometimes in a dream I think to myself " I,m just dreaming again" but it's almost a passing thought.When I focus on that thought,I usually become lucid and my dreamworld becomes amazingly clear.I am awake in a dream.I don't think i am qualified to give you advice,but i can say I think you came to the right spot.I actually haven't had a LD in awhile,so I'm in the same stage as you and will be interested in the replies to your post.Welcome aboard!
