I used to be able to do it naturally, but now I can't. It was an amazing thing to be able to do. But for me it isn't choosing what I dream about, it's just modifying the dream at anytime.Tharwen said:
Have you ever been able to choose what you dream about?

I've noticed that I incorporate outside sounds into my dreams. If a song is playing on the radio, or people are talking in the real world, my dream just fits the noise in. Usually in a non-sensible way.
Image doesn't work for me, but if you're referring to lucid dreaming, yes I do that quite frequently.
It's quite fun though I do like to let my mind take over and show me some weird ass shit from time to time.

occasionally i can steer my dreams into certain directions, but for the most part its random.
For instance, during the summer, i light incense, play trance and take a nap during the day, the result is an acid trip like state in which everything is so surreal its hard to believe its awesome xD

I tend to dream about really mundane stuff, so I usually don't realise I'm dreaming. When I have more unusual content however, I realise within the dream early on. Usually I'll actually say things like "this is a dream" in the dream itself - which is kind of a spoiler because it no longer makes anything in the dream seem to matter.
I've lucid dreamed once or twice randomly. I couldn't control entirely what happened though I realized it was a dream.
I love dreams, SO FUCKING MUCH.
I wish I had more control over them. 99.9% of the time I don't realise it's a dream until I wake up. Only once have I realised it was a dream, and my god that one was brilliant.

only if i wake up in the middle of a dream that i liked so i go back to sleep thinking about it...
Yep. I visualise it as kind of a movie reel, with each frame representing a different dream. The odd thing is, the older the dream, the rarer it is I can lucid dream properly.
For example, I have logged some dreams from when I was 6. I have awareness, but I can't control anything. Newer dreams, I have full control over. They're like Fallout 3 or Oblivion. I know the main story is there, I can just choose to avoid it if I want.
If I have a dream that I like, I can add it to the reel. From there it acts like the "Oblivion" dreams: I can follow the original story, or go out and make a new one.

Yes I can but most of the time I choose not to even try. I like seeing what my unconscious mind comes up with. Dreaming lets my imagination run wild without any consious thought or manipulation so I might as well leave it to do so and enjoy the 'film'.
I've been trying to have a lucid dream for weeks now but it doesn't seem to be working, like at all.
