Is there any way we can dream exactly what we want to dream?

Yes this idea of dreaming what you want and knowing it is called lucid dreaming. I used to be able to do it. There's techniques to it. You can find a expert website on the subject to explain how you can do it. The trick they say is to recognize when your dreaming that you are dreaming. This way you can create what you want to dream. I dreamed that I wanted to fly in outer space, and along a shore with cliffs, when I got to outer space I said I wanted cherries, then a whole bunch of cherries sprang up and I flew through them. The funny thing is that I sense my body going down to get rest and for some reason I said "Jesus no, I want to go" So again my body rose, this happened about two times. What is important is to be positive, dream what you love and are in love with.

I find if I concentrate on something really hard, I can force myself to dream about it, but it doesn't always work and it is very tiring, it takes EXTREME concentration. What I do is 'start off' the dream - start telling myself a story about it in my head, imagine it as vividly as possible.

My subconscious has a better imagination than me though, and it knows what I need to think about because it is brutally honest about it, so I usually leave the job to it.

well, i can occasionally control how mi dreams turn out. its only when i have a good amount of energy because a lot of the times dreaming lets you actually sleep and regain energy just that much less. like if you have a dreamless night you normally wake up feeling like you have more energy than that of a night where you dream. well, thats just what happens to me. *shrugs* but i never have to think about it before i go to bed, when i do that it just makes it something else that shows mi true emotions or feelings toward somebody that i dont want to feel like that about. if i have enough energy then i tend to have the dream like i want.
