one more question..(Again)

I cant seem to understand if its a dream or not.. even if i know that im going to dream before i sleep... becouse when im dreaming.. its like im not able to think, its just actions without control.. like its not me dreaming.. its my sub-consious..

any tips? my dream signs so far hasnt helped that much..
and yes i am doing a dream journal just not online, but it doesn't seem to improve anything.. only the capability to remember dreams ive already written down..
