I can't even remember the last time I dreamed! I'm normal! Except as a kid, I had those where some scary animal/person is chasing you but the feet won't run. I don't remember controlling or even trying to. I remember reading somewhere that everyone dreams, only some people don't (always) remember what they dreamed - or even that they dreamed. Even blind people (blind from birth) dream, but in audio only. The converse is true for the deaf. I also read that we always have multiple dreams , only that we remember mostly just the last dream.If only we could recall all our dreams, right to the very detail. Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

The part i liked the most was when trying to run in a dream but i couldn't, i would tell myself it's a dream and i needed to straighten my legs and instantly i would stretch my legs and be able to run and fly.
The easiest to control for me are fight dreams, no one beats me in them.
The hardest ones to control have always been of eating fish. I always wake up before the fish is served. Nkt! You, my friend, are at another level! Oneironaut perhaps? Oneiro,,,what? Then there is another set of dreams, za kishenzi hizi. They come in the morning just before i wake up. Whenever they come [they seldom do] when i extend my sleep,a sort of dark cloud/thing hovers above me,the body gets numb, can't move or scream even though i know i'm dreaming. These ones, zero control. Good thing about them, they have meaning. Whenever i have such a dream, sooner than later, i'm faced with a challenge. They sort of prepare me. The thing about getting numb is the body's mechanism to protect you - just in case you jump or throw a punch and injure yourself or someone while dreaming. Happens to me all the time and I am sure to many others as well. The first time I experienced the sensation I was actually quite alarmed. Maneno ya mawingu ndio sielewi. I can relate to the 'shenzi' dreams. I hate them!! And just like with @mkeiy, its always in the morning, or some moments before I wake up.They are always scary but worse is that am not usually sure whether am dreaming or am in actual danger.So there I am struggling to move an arm or a leg, or maybe lift my head but it never happens, it's like my whole body is pinned to the bed,not fun at all!!  Before I die - i will touch the sky!!

My advice,try and not to use it to satisfy your desires or quench your thirst for power.It embeds into your subconscious as it is a real experience(in its own way) and it will transfer to the waking world.
@symbols, I've flown since i was 12 years old and i always love it. What do you mean it "embeds" into subconscious? That subconscious you are talking about knows the difference between dream world and real world. However, if the experiences one has in dreams can be had in real life,then embedding could happening. E.g landing. The subconscious is subtle.It works more on emotions and perception on objects rather than thoughts thus the experience remains a part of it.Think of movies.You might not remember every detail of it but you will remember how it made you feel and if your keen how it changed the way you perceive a few things.

Maneno ya mawingu ndio sielewi. think it happens when you wake up from a dream, mostly nightmare, and your body/brain/whatever hasn't 'realised' so you're still frozen but have carried your nightmare into the real world. in such scenario there at times could be some monster just about to pounce on you. all you have to do is move just one part of your body and the spell is broken. at times it stops only to start again - talk of vicious circle of nightmares. Sleep Paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either when falling asleep or wakening, temporarily experience an inability to move (being paralyzed). More formally, it is a transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle atonia (muscle weakness). It can occur at sleep onset or upon awakening, and it is often associated with terrifying visions (e.g. an intruder in the room), to which one is unable to react due to paralysis. It is believed a result of disrupted REM sleep, which is normally characterized by complete muscle atonia that prevents individuals from acting out their dreams. Sleep paralysis has been linked to disorders such as narcolepsy, migraines, anxiety disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea; however, it can also occur in isolation. You find me offensive?
