If you can continually do this at will any night that you have a dream that you want to halt or anytime you want to sleep and dream a specific dream whilst you are asleep, I would say this is uncommon.
I have achieved this once or twice in my life and naturally I can make up a dream in wakeful consciousness no trouble but to determine my dream / memory at will during sleep is not always easy to achieve.
I had always understood that during sleep and dreams or REM sleep is how we work out what troubles us or how we solve problems for use in our daily lives. If you are at will stopping this process it may be your nightmares or undesirable dreams increase - just a theory.

Yes, very common. I pick up where I left off the night before. You can however - think about it a while - before you go back to sleep and change the way you dream.

I thought it was uncommon. I have once or twice picked up where I left off in a dream after waking but usually once I wake its gone.

I do that all the time. What I do is change my atmosphere a little, maybe turn some music on or read a chapter of a book. Anything to forget that dream you were having.

I dont think so. Sounds like a great skill to have though. There are many a dream I would love to revisit.
