Question: How do you control your dreams?

Really clever question. We can in fact control our dreams. It is a thing called ‘lucid dreaming.’ You can sometimes make yourself aware of the fact you are sleeping, and by doing that you can control what you dream about. Having very vivid thoughts about a subject before bedtime too can try and alter what you dream about. Some people train themselves to control their dreams. You can keep a diary of your dreams by writing down all your dreams and how you felt in your dreams, this is a very good starting point. This means when this dream happens again, you might be aware of the fact you are dreaming. Also, making sure you are aware that you are going to sleep like by saying, ‘I am going to be dreaming’ makes people learn to control their dreams. It is a long and skillful practice but yes, that is how you do it. Lucid dreaming. Another great question.
