Like, can you control what you are thinking and doing in your dream as you are sleeping?

Lucid dreaming is correct -- it means you are "lucid" or alert within your dreams. Are we living a dream and are our dreams our reality, or vice versa?? Here is a lucid dreaming site: http://www.crhsc.umontreal.ca/dreamsfoundation/pathway1.htm
Some people are able to control easily, others have to work hard at it. I kept a dream diary for over 15 years! If you start by laying and remembering your dream, then getting up and writing it down, and keep doing that, it will help you to focus on your dreaming, and with some practice you may find yourself controlling your dreams more.
Often we can "go back into" a dream once we wake up -- that seems to be a time when we "control" it more -- because we had become conscious but in a semi-sleep state, and then go back to the dream more "lucidly." Give it a try! Good luck!

It's called "Lucid Dreaming". Where you conciously know that it is a dream. Some people say doing things like reminding yourself ALOT during the day that "this is not a dream" and looking at your watch and trying to change the time. Once this becomes a part of your schedule and you do this mindlessly, it will begin to happen in your dreams. You will then realize that you can change time, and be like "Oh sh**, im in a dream..." and you can do whatever you want. It's very fun.

I understand it can be done with lots of practice. You will generally dream about something that's on your mind as you fall asleep, but you don't remember many dreams. I've read that we all dream as many as 60 or more times each night. I don't think I want to remember that many anyway. At any rate, keep trying - you never know what you can do until you try and try again.

I don't know for definate. But, I think you can control the actions you make, only you can't control the plot in your dream.
