Is it normal to dream that you can fly( dream) or control your dreams

I am a serious dreamer and usually dream about heaven and hell topics. I fly at will and control a lot of my dreams. I have people in my dreams tell me that they even know I realize that I am dreaming. Too much to tell you about. Is this normal.

    what s3b said, it's called "Lucid Dreaming"
    It's awesome that you are able to do that, I've been trying to do it myself.

    It's called Lucid Dreaming and it is a true gift that it comes so naturally to you.

    Here is a great forum all about it:

    Yes, it's normal, and you're awesome for being able to do it. I *love* it.

    While we're on the subject, anybody got any tips on explaining lucid dreaming to post-verbal pre-logic children (between three and about seven)? I'm trying to give my sons the ability to control their dreams but I don't think I'm getting through because I'm not sure they're understanding me.

    I started as a child doing it.... Not sure of what method I used. Think I always just felt awake. I do have sleep apnea though. So I wake up a lot.

    Yeah, it's lucid dreaming. I used to be able to do it all the time. Usually, there's an object you concentrate on really hard and then when you're asleep and see that object, it sort of makes your mind realize that you're dreaming and you can control aspects of your dream, like having the ability to fly and such.

    Saw the movie Inception I actually feel like I wrote it. Great flick!!!
    I also am aware that they call it lucid dreaming, I just feel like it goes way beyond that.

    You arn't actually dreaming, you're thinking in th form of a dream. You do it during 'light sleep' then you go to 'deep sleep' then 'R.E.M sleep' and during rem sleep, you dream. So you are actually thinking but it just looks like a dream
