I'm wondering, does anyone know if it is possible to dream about Lucid dreaming? I mean if you follow that train of thought, how does anyone ever know if they are truly in control of a dream?[/b]
You can dream about anything. If you've ever seen the movie Waking Life the whole movie is pretty much a dream about lucid dreaming. In one particular scene the main character is having a discussion about lucid dreaming itself. One thing to remember, though, is that lucid dreaming doesn't necessarily include dream control. It is very common to be lucid in a dream but still not have control of the envirnonment (at least not to the degree you'd expect). Lucidity is simply knowing you're dreaming. Controling the dream is alltogether different.
Regarding your friend that can "sequence" his dreams: it sounds to me like he's practicing dream incubation - which is being able to control the content or subject matter of what you will dream of when you go to sleep. This is actually how I ended up finding out about lucid dreaming (before then I assumed knowing you were dreaming would only wake you up). I was merely looking to see if it was possible to control what I dreamed about. Your friend seems to have developed quite a skill in this and should be able to induce a lucid dream with little effort via the MILD technique.
