Help? Need term for......? Serious answers please?

What is the psycholgical term for a person being able to 'control' their dreams? You can stop yourself from running away, control yourself while flying/falling, etc. It's the state of being half asleep. Over the years, I have explained it to my friends/coworkers and they think I'm making it up. Thanks in advance.

Lucid dreaming
Lucid dreaming is “dreaming while knowing you are dreaming.” When you become lucid, there is absolutely nothing that distinguishes dream from waking. Lucidity endows you with full autonomy to guide your dream in any conceivable direction.
