I can control, feel and remember my dreams

So ever since I was young I have been able to remember and control my actions in my dreams.
I can also feel what's happening.
Lately it's gotten worse Iv been having horrible dreams one I was being drowned and I was for sure I would find away out of it I was thinking this is just a dream I will brake free but I didn't I ended up giving up and I was thinking so this must be what it feels like to die, It feels so real another one was I had a horrible virus that was going to kill me all of a sudden I had these bumps grow in my arms and I could feel them grown in my skin as if it was actually happening.
Normally I dont mind I can remember every detail of my dream I can control what I do and say but the last few nights they have gotten so bad all involving death, near death or sadness.
Is it normal for a dream to feel so real or to be able to control your moves or thoughts then remember detail when I wake up or do I have a screw loose.

    Usually this is called Lucid Dreaming but usually this takes mental training. I haven't done enough research to know if it is possible for someone to have the ability to remember your dreams so I'm going to assume it is.
    You also seem to be having nightmares and this, coupled with your natural ability for Lucid Dreaming (where you can control and remember dreams), is going to make for horrifying night terrors.
    Both of these are completely normal but if it gets worse see your local GP.

    Yes it is normal to have dreams like that. I have dreams like that as well. I can control every action every movement I do it in a very strange way. I can even control my feelings for others too.

    I do the same last night I felt me rubbing a dog's head in my dream and I remember every little thing to it. This YouTuber had so much dog's he was doing a give away and I was freinds with him. And all the dogs could talk. So I made a best friend in that dream but when I woke up I told my friend in real life what happend. It felt so WEIRD!

    Well sir/sirette I believe that is called lucid dreaming. Basically its a mental situation in which you're in a dream and your brain recognizes that its just a dream and so you can use your thoughts to manipulate things within the dream. Its vary rare to occur but when it does happen, its supposedly really cool since you can do anything. Like fly, eat, have sex stuff like that. It does take alot of practice and time to get used to and eventually you can get to the point where you can manipulate things really easily. Note I have never experienced this and this is only from research and other perspectives. I also took a Psychology course and we learned about sleep and dreaming. If you wanna look into it more, here's a link https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-superhuman-mind/201212/lucid-dreaming-and-self-realization

    Was writing this as a form of procrastination. I hate homework.
