Is it normal to not be able to control my dreams

I can't control any of my dreams no matter how hard I try a scenario of this could be I jump and then I can't stop jumping Evan if I don't want to and I really hate it and want to know if there's any thing I can do to stop it or improve it maybe and what is it called if there's a name for it.

    It's perfectly normal no to be able to control ones dreams. In fact the other day we had a hypnotherapist over and we got to talking about hypnosis. She was very surprised indeed, when I divulged that I was in full control of my dreams, even saying that people try to achieve that their whole life (sometimes without success).

    I find it helps to set the dream scenario before going to sleep, therefore (sometimes) restricting the sort of dream scenario you might experience. Try falling asleep whilst thinking of your ideal scenario ;p works for me

    @TT454: how about consciously giving yourself super-powers or ANYTHING else? Dreams are fun.

    It's not normal to want to control it, would be my guess.

    It is very normal to not be able to control your dreams. It is less normal to actually have any control in your dreams. I think, that if you are concious in a dream, then you won't sleep very well, because our dreams are made from the subconsious part of our brain. So being concious means that you aren't sleeping deep enough = not sleeping well.
    Or something. I can't explain it very well, english isn't my main language. Deal with it! :D

      I couldn't even tell that it wasn't your first language until you said so.

  • Who would want to control your dream? By controlling your dream you're ruining the random fun that dreams bring.
