I am not sure what you are asking, but it sounds like you are talking about lucid dreaming. That's when you are conscious in your dream and can take over or "drive" as it were. I have done it. It is amazing.
I learned how to do it by reading a book called Lucid Dreaming. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Exploring-World-Dreaming-Stephen-Laberge/dp/034537410X/sr=8-2/qid=1158209262/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-9390199-0013517?ie=UTF8&s=books
Peace!

I suppose so but I have only exhibited control over dreams if they were bad one, i.e. nightmares. I prefer to let most dreams run their own course as it is said to be your brains way of processing the things you went through during the day. Kind of a cool down mode before you need to start another day.

If you mean, can you control your dreams, many folks are very able to do that. Usually they are people who have high functioning imaginations.
For myself, I have do that a couple times, and when I really need to, I can wake myself out of dream. Sometimes it's really really hard to do that.

In the beginning, a researcher must to test on the beasts. My recommendation is: cats!
Cats
They are alike, prim scholar and perfervid lover:
When comes the season of decay, they both decide
Upon sweet, husky cats to be the household pride;
Cats choose, like them, to sit, and like them, shudder.
Like partisans of carnal dalliance and science,
They search for silence and the shadowings of dread;
Hell well might harness them as horses for the dead,
If it could bend their native proudness in compliance.
In reverie they emulate the noble mood
Of giant sphinxes stretched in depths of solitude
Who seem to slumber in a NEVER-ENDING DREAM;
Within their fertile loins a sparkling magic lies;
Finer than any sand are dusts of gold that gleam,
Vague starpoints, in the mystic iris of their eyes.
Charles Baudelaire

absolutely, but only after REM and before waking up. I do it all the time to hold onto that dream and feel I control every motion - usually the 4-5am pre wakeup time.

with practice, and good mental and physical health, you can learn to take more and more controll of your dreams. there are limits and there seem to be a couple of rules. for instance, you can not force yourself to dream the future.

In dreams almost anything is possible.

YES YOU CAN.
YOUR DREAM (the first one)IS WHATEVER YOU ARE AIMING AT AND YOU ARE DETERMINED, YOU CAN DO SO IN YOUR DREAM (the second dream)

Yes, but; it cheapens the experience. Controling the subconcious is denying your truest fears and deepest desires. Then again, you never have nightmares.

Not under the current working theories of REM and non REM sleep.
