So I searched google for "control your dreams" and I came to this site. I guess it is officially called Lucid Dreaming?

Very interesting site, read a few things. Read the beginners stuff on how to Lucid Dream, and then got into the other stuff like doing whatever I want in the dreams for advance LD's.
I was just curious, how come from day one of my Lucid Dreaming (Begin of 6th Grade), until now (18 years old) I have been able to control and do whatever I want. I never just started off and was only able to to certain things. My very first Lucid Dream I was flying around the school. Like I never had anyone tell me, ok when you realize its a dream, you do this this and this. I just did it all naturally.
Ever since 6th grade I have been able to have Lucid Dreams if I want. When I dream and I realize its a Dream, I will either just have fun and do whatever I want, or simply just go along with my dream and see where my mind takes me.

Welcome to Dream Views, man.
First off, just so there is no confusion, the "Lucid Dreaming" part is just knowing that you're dreaming. Controlling the dream is, appropriately enough, "Dream Control." Many people are lucid without control and, still, many others have dream control without being lucid. You have both, which is good, and how a few of us have started off.

I don't think there is any one particular reason that you were able to start controlling your dreams, by yourself. I have been lucid dreaming since I was a kid and did a lot of things, without ever even having heard of "dream control" being something that people were capable of. It's just the same as any other developed skill, I guess, just something you can either do on your own, or something someone can coach you until. People are different, so their learning experiences with LDing and dream control are going to be different.
