How well can you control your self in your own dreams? What is your favorite Dream ability? +more

Ah yes, dream control. A favorite subject of mine.
Anyway, not many people can control their dreams, at least not those I ask about it.
For me my favorite ability is when I decide to change my size. I don't really have many abilities, since during dreams I don't think very freely. So naturally, I just make myself fucking huge and take control of whatever situation I'm in, or just have good 'ol giant person fun.

Although more recently the only thing I've managed to do is change the overall dream in my favor, such as having an awesome day or something.
And I mean awesome...

This doesn't happen every night though. I only seem to realise I'm dreaming once every week or so.

Only towards the end of the dream do I gain some form of control; and that is usually at that moment when you're hovering between being asleep and awake. If I've got an awesome story dream going on I sometimes try and hammer out a conclusion before I wake up and the whole thing begins to fade.

Aw man, reading your post reminded me of this one time...
I was having an amazing dream. I won't get too into it, but it was so awesome that I realised I was about to wake up, drifted out of it for a second to get comfortable, and kicked myself asleep again, and stayed asleep for an admittedly long time afterwards enjoying everything.
It was an epic experience, and after waking up I wondered if I could ever attempt the same feat of knowingly waking up half-conscious, half-dreaming (like, the dream became a bit intangible and I started seeing the inside of my eyelids and part of my pillow) and tell myself to wait a bit longer before waking up to resume my dream...
Man, now I kind of can't wait to go to bed tonight. I have a strange feeling it'll be a good night.

As for the question... it depends. Sometimes I have some sense of control, but I mostly seem to be following a "Script" if that makes sense. I might have some control over what happens, but the end result seems to be pre-determined. The dreams I have tend to carry messages about my present life though... so its often best to just let things go as they are. Then I wake up and think about the meaning of those dreams. Sometimes... its pretty enlightening.

Godamnit, triple post...
But it's for a good reason.
Question for everyone, ever had a dream where you're with someone, but you never physically see them?
Like, they're the best friend person you'll ever have in your life?
I had the greatest time doing nothing but basic hanging out with this other guy who I knew was the best person ever and we had the strongest friendship bond thing in the world etc etc...
And I woke up wanting to go out and try to find and meet them. I was kind of sad that day, but I got over it...

Flying I regularly have dreams where I have wings. Weird thing is I feel them in my dreams as well. Would be awesome and sure beats driving anyday

Beats my dream powers, flying is something I've wanted back forever...

I can fly, although those are few and far between. When I do I tend to soar, like a bird. I can also freely walk through objects, like walls, or sink through a floor to get to a lower level. Passing through objects feels funny though. I can also wake myself up if I'm having a bad dream, although recently that hasn't been 100%.

... next time I know I'm in a dream I'll have to try walking through something, I've always been bound to the "physical" attributes of my dream worlds.

might need to learn to fly first though so I don't end up falling through the world >.>

Yea all my dreams seem to follow the "Script" until something makes me realize I'm in a dream, It usually has to be pretty obvious though.
