Question

hello, i would like to ask is it possible to control your dreams? and if so how?

Answer 1

You often can influence your dreams by giving yourself pre-sleep suggestions. Another method of influencing dreams is called lucid dreaming, in which you are aware you are dreaming while still asleep and in the dream. Sometimes people experience this type of dreaming spontaneously. It is often possible to learn how to increase lucid dreaming, and thereby increase your capacity to affect the course of the dream events as they unfold. Some things are easier than others to control, and indeed complete control is probably never possible.

Answer 2

No. But how you treat your body can effect the contents of your dreams. You can have nightmares if you are consuming a poor diet. Or if you get yourself into trouble with criminals, the law, etc, you can experience dreams that revolve around anxiety. Otherwise, you cannot control how much you dream, etc.

Answer 3

It's called 'lucid dreaming'. Start by keeping a notebook by your bed. Every time you wake up, write down your dreams. Soon enough you will start to remember you dreams more vividly. Once you do that you will be able to differentiate between reality and dreams. Once you know you are dreaming, you will be able to control your dreams.

Answer 4

Yes! Read Carlos Castaneda. The art of dreaming.

Answer 5

if you are aware you are dreaming, then yes, you can decide to end it or reenter it or even change the direction it goes.

also, if you ask yourself a life question you need an answer for before you go to sleep, often you will dream the answer.

Answer 6

I really don't think you can control your dreams...cuz it's deeply rooted in your sub-conscience!! You will do what you will, and sometimes what you don't in your dreams. If you do manage to do that email me...it would be really interesting to figure out how.

Answer 7

Yes you can manipulate you dreams to make them come out positive rather than negative. You need to practice.

Answer 10

Think about it. Your dreams are to teach you about yourself. If you are controlling them are you heeding them? or micromanaging your experience?
