I used to have recurring nightmares when I was younger and my therapist taught me to essentially tell myself it was a dream while I was asleep, which meant I'd bring myself out of them. I never used to be able to 'control' them, but if I was conscious I'd be able to wake myself up. Sometimes I'm able to do stuff while I'm dreaming now (like change the direction I'm walking, or pick things up), but for the past few weeks I've been having trouble sleeping and haven't been remembering any of my dreams at all.
